BHU Professor Accused of Molestation May Return After HC Revokes Suspension

• BHU Professor Shail Kumar Chaubey, accused of molesting 17 girls in 2018, might return to campus after Allahabad High Court revoked his suspension.
• Accusations stem from a 2018 Odisha tour where female Zoology students alleged obscene acts and inappropriate touching.
• BHU initially suspended Chaubey, and its Internal Complaints Committee found him guilty, leading to compulsory retirement after student protests.
• Allahabad High Court annulled his compulsory retirement in 2024 and recently revoked his subsequent suspension in 2025 on technical grounds, citing procedural errors.
• Students are outraged, demanding BHU challenge the decision in the Supreme Court, fearing for campus safety if the "tainted" professor returns.

Why It Matters: Legal technicalities allow a professor accused of molestation to potentially return to BHU, sparking student outrage.
