Rajasthan University (RU) has sacked the director of Centre of Ambedkar Studies, Ramesh Chawla, 42, for his alleged involvement in a sex racket busted on January 16. Chawla was also serving as assistant professor of political science at Maharani's College. "Police have submitted a report which confirms his involvement. He was discharged from his duty immediately under the Rajasthan University Act," said Dev Swarup, Vice Chancellor of RU.
Acting on a tip off, Bhankrota police said raided a house in JDA colony and caught red-handed two Delhi-based women with two-middle aged men, including a university professor. "We were shocked to learn about his identity," said Umar Singh, SHO of Bhankrota police station. He added that initially, the professor has said that he was a real estate consultant.
Reportedly, he also held various organisational posts in Congress and used his influence but failed to slip out. The racket kingpin, a woman, and the house owner were also arrested. A lower court has rejected the bail application of the accused on grounds of influencing the case. His arrest has come as a shocker for the eight research scholars working under him at the Centre of Ambedkar Studies.
The varsity authorities came to know about the incident a week ago, when they were informed by the police about the credentials of the arrested professor, reported Times of India.
