The city police have arrested a professor of a prominent college here for allegedly seeking sexual favours from a 31-year-old Iranian woman in return for help in getting her admission into a PhD course. “The professor told her there was only one seat available in the course and two applications. He promised to help her get admission in the PhD course,” he said. The professor called the woman to his cabin in the college on August 8 and allegedly sought sexual favours in return for help and later harassed her, he said. The woman yesterday approached the police station and filed a case against the professor under IPC section 354 (A) (punishment for sexual harassment), he said.
