The founder and former editor of The Bombay Review, an online literary magazine, Kaartikeya Bajpai, 24, has been removed as visiting faculty at Churchgate-based Jai Hind College's Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) department after he allegedly came for a lecture inebriated, spanked a male student, cursed in front of the class, flipped his finger at them, 'tucked a student's hair behind her ear and smelt her hand', earlier this month. Hired by the college, apparently without a background check, Bajpai has previously been accused of sexual misconduct at his workplace.

A complaint has been registered against him with the Churchgate-based college's Internal Complaint Committee (ICC).
