Says he sacked her after she ignored his demands
A 50-year-old lecturer has filed a sexual harassment complaint against the principal of her college, for allegedly forcing her to have a relationship with him.
The lecturer, Pramila Kumar, told this reporter that Malaques, the principal, sacked her when she did not heed to his demands.
In her complaint, Pramila said that she has been teaching sports education in the college for the past five years.
Pramila was popular among students, for which Malaques started harassing her out of professional jealousy. "He not only started using lewd remarks, but also routinely started intimidating me with dire consequences," said Kumar.
"Initially he used to pull me up for lame excuses, but later started abusing me openly. While I asked for an explanation, Malaques asked me to have an affair with him, failing which he would take stern action against me. He has been harassing me for the past many months causing mental and physical harassment,"
said Kumaru00a0Unable to bear the frequent harassment, Kumar finally informed her family members, who advised her to seek legal help.
"I sought the advice from a senior police officer who was my senior in my college. Based on his advice, I filed a complaint with the Ulsoor Gate police," she told this reporter.
The police have summoned Maleques for explanation, who reportedly said that he would mend his ways and take Kumar back to work.
"I did not want to file a complaint initially, since he has two daughters," Pramila said adding that she decided to approach the police when the harassment became unbearable.
The Ulsoor gate police have taken up a case of outraging the modesty, and criminal intimidation. MiD Day tried to reach Malaques but he was not available for comments.
