I have seen several sexual harassment complaints being filed and getting ignored. The Internal Complaints Committee in GNLU is almost dead. GNLU as an institution has failed miserably in providing a safe environment to students.
Director and Registrar is receiving fulltime salary from other University and charge allowances. Committee of University is not been revamped since

But will anything meaningful happen? Previously a big scam involving how undergrads got degrees in NLIU Bhopal was exposed. A retired HC judge submitted a damning report where several big names were mentioned. Nothing happened.
Same with NUJS (involving PIB, Justice Talukdar and NKC tenures), NALSAR (RS/VS tenure, which was reported by Legally India), RGNUL (PS Jaiswal and Co), HNLU (Sukhpal) et al.
I doubt anything much will happen. Hope to be proved wrong.
Kudos to the victim, the journalist, the newspaper management, the judiciary and most importantly the retired judge who conducted the inquiry for being steadfast in revealing this institutional cover-up and complicity.
This wasn't about political offspring doing what they usually do. But the entire institution, actively and tacitly coming together to shield the accused. Was it just about shielding someone powerful and traffic in personal and pecuniary favours? Or is GBLU admin afraid that this exposure may lead to a domino effect and more horrors will come to light.
The Registrar and VC need to go as also the entrenched ecosystem allowing institutional abuses.
