Jammu: The body of an associate professor was found hanging inside his residential quarter at the Jammu university campus here on Wednesday, a day after he was suspended following a complaint of sexual harassment against him by some students. A university official said psychology professor Chander Shekhar (45), hailing from Meerut, was living on the campus along with his wife and daughter and was upset over the complaint filed on September 1.
