Jaunpur: The administration at the TD College affiliated to Purvanchal University, located in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh has issued a show- cause to a professor after a purported video showing him making obscene phone call to a girl student went viral, sources said on Friday. College Principal Alok Kumar Singh said that on Thursday evening, a journalist based in Lucknow sent him the purported video asking him to confirm its authenticity.
During the preliminary examination of the video, the video seemed to be authentic, he added. After the video surfaced, a show-cause notice has been sent to the accused professor to explain his position over the matter. Principal Alok Kumar Singh said that if the professor is found guilty, action will be taken as per law.
