Dharamshala Student’s Death: Professor Suspended, Granted Bail as State and UGC Open Probes

Investigators are relying on treatment records plus a hospital video to determine next steps.

Overview

  • Kangra police registered an FIR naming three students under the anti-ragging law and BNS for causing hurt, and a college professor under BNS Section 75 for sexual harassment.
  • The Himachal government suspended the accused assistant professor, who denies the allegations and has secured anticipatory bail while joining police questioning.
  • The state education department and the UGC set up separate fact-finding committees, as police teams travel to Ludhiana to gather full treatment files and take medical staff statements.
  • A medical board will review the student’s treatment history, with investigators also examining a hospital video recorded before her death that circulated this week.
  • The NCW and state commissions sought rapid reports and action; the family alleges casteist abuse, while the college says it received no prior written complaint and notes the student was not re-enrolled.
