JODHPUR, Oct. 13 -- An assistant professor at Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Rajasthan Ayurved University was arrested on Monday over allegations of sexually harassing female students, sending them obscene messages on social media and pressuring them to enter into personal relationships. A court remanded Ajit Singh Charan, 29, to two days of police custody for questioning. Karwar police station officer Parmeshwari said a case was registered against Charan following complaints by students. A resident of Losal in Sikar district, he teaches in the university's anatomy department. According to police, the students alleged that Charan pressured them to enter into personal relationships with him, asked them to visit his room and sought their friendship. They further alleged that he told them they would have to comply with his demands if they wanted to top their examinations. The students also accused him of making objectionable comments about their clothing and physical appearance. They submitted WhatsApp chats to the university administration in support of their complaints. The arrest followed a search operation launched under the direction of Jodhpur East deputy commissioner of police Manish Kumar Chaudhary. A team led by station officer Parmeshwari began searching for Charan after the complaints were filed. Acting on a tip-off that he was in the Mandore police station area, the team conducted a raid and arrested him. The allegations had triggered protests on the university campus on Saturday, when a group of female students approached the vice-chancellor's office and demanded strict action against the faculty member. One of the students reportedly fell ill during the episode. Vice-chancellor Govind Sahay Shukla spoke to the students and heard their complaints. The university subsequently decided to terminate Charan's services with immediate effect and constituted a committee to investigate the allegations. Shukla said the university would recommend cancellation of Charan's registration after receiving the inquiry report....
