Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Lucknow University Unit strongly condemns the highly inappropriate, obscene, and derogatory phone conversation by Paramjeet Singh, an Assistant Professor working in the Zoology Department, with a female student of the Faculty of Science.
ABVP maintains a clear stance that academic campuses must remain sacred spaces dedicated not only to educational learning but also to ensuring a completely safe, secure, and respectful environment for the holistic development of students, where a petty and malicious mindset has absolutely no place.
The shameful incident came to light after an audio recording surfaced and went viral on social media.
In the recording, the said Assistant Professor is heard not only making indecent remarks to the student but also pressuring her to come to his private cabin, demanding sexual favors, and boasting about his ability to leak examination question papers.
Due to this heinous act of harassment and exploitation, the victimized student is facing severe mental trauma and currently feels deeply unsafe within her own campus, which is a matter of grave concern for any sensitive institution.
Taking a strict stand on this entire matter, ABVP Lucknow University Unit President Sri Jai Srivastava stated,”Tarnishing the sacred tradition of Guru and disciple in such a prestigious institution is deeply unfortunate and entirely unforgivable. ABVP demands the immediate dismissal and prompt arrest of teacher Paramjeet Singh for harboring such a malicious and predatory mindset.
ABVP stands with full resolve to ensure justice for the victimized student. We demand that the university administration, local police, and the Government of Uttar Pradesh invoke the strictest provisions of the state law concerning the integrity of examinations, file charges under relevant sections for sexual harassment, and arrest the accused immediately. If the administration fails to take swift and exemplary action against the culprit, student council activists will be forced to launch a fierce, widespread agitation,” he added.
