New Delhi [India], November 17 (ANI): Delhi University has suspended Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) Joint Secretary and ABVP leader Deepika Jha for two months, after she allegedly assaulted a professor on campus at Dr. BR Ambedkar College in October.
The university has issued a formal order on November 14 suspending her as an office-bearer for two months.
"The conduct of Deepika Jha is unacceptable and unbecoming on the part of a student and an office bearer of DUSU. Such an incident reflects a serious breach of discipline and decorum expected within the University community. This act of physical assault is an act of gross indiscipline as per Ordinance XV-B 3 (a) of the Ordinances of the University," an official order read.
Acting on the recommendations, the University has suspended her from the post of Joint Secretary, effective immediately, for a period of two months, subject to strict conditions.
The varsity also stated Jha must submit a written apology to Prof. Sujit Kumar for her misconduct and inappropriate behaviour.
She shall submit an undertaking of good conduct, affirming her commitment to maintaining decorum and contributing to a positive academic environment, DU order read.
However, in the interest of academics, she may continue attending her classes and appearing in the examinations. Her suspension shall be revoked after a review of her conduct by the Enquiry Committee, it added. (ANI)
