The Hindu
Action was based on charges already dismissed by HC, says Kalarikkal
The imbroglio over the alleged abuse of a Dalit PhD student at Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, appears to be intensifying with the accused teacher contemplating legal action against the university for its decision to replace him as director of the International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IIUCNN).
“The action initiated against me by the university Syndicate is based on a set of charges already dismissed by the Kerala High Court and is without even a preliminary inquiry. In this context, I have decided to defend my case legally,” said Nandakumar Kalarikkal, the accused teacher, who is now in France as part of an international project at the Jean Lamour Institute, University of Lorraine.
The university had on Saturday removed Mr. Kalarikkal as director in charge of the centre where the Dalit woman has been pursuing her research.
