The Powai police on Saturday arrested a man who formerly worked as a professor at a premier engineering institute in the city for allegedly sending lewd messages and videos to one of his ex-students. The accused, identified as Vijay Deshmukh, had been fired from the institute in 2018 following the student's complaint to its women's cell. But he resurfaced in her life recently after she returned from South Korea, following which she filed a police complaint against him.
According to the police, Deshmukh had been harassing the complainant since 2016. It started in November 2016, when the complainant got a message on Facebook from an account unknown to her saying, "can u make friendship with me? (sic)" to which she never responded. A few days later, she received a similar message and ignored it once again. "Then, during one of her practicals, she noticed Deshmukh and realised he could be the same person who had been sending messages to her; they were coming from an account with the same name as his. He would also stare at her all the time; some of her friends noticed this too," said a police officer from Powai police station.
