As per reports, there are four cases against Chida Das for theft of television sets, inverter batteries, and vehicles.
The lecturer apologized after the student called him out.
Digital Desk: The Manipal
Institute of Technology in Karnataka's Udupi district on Monday barred a
professor from teaching after he allegedly called a student a
"terrorist." A video of the student criticizing the professor for
labelling him a "terrorist" has gone viral.
The institute
in the southern state's coastal region condemned the incident and ordered an investigation.
According to an MIT official, "The lecturer has been barred from teaching
in the future. An investigation team has been formed to look into the
incident."
Because 'his name
sounded similar,' the professor allegedly referred to a student as 'Kasab,' a
reference to the convict in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
The lecturer apologized after the student called him out.
"How can you pass
such statements?" the student asks in the viral video.
An
argument follows the remark. The professor attempts to dismiss the student's
shocking remark as a joke, but the student responds, saying, "26/11 is not
funny... being Muslim in this country and facing such things is not funny. How
can you call me a terrorist in front of the entire class? 'Sorry,' sir, will not
suffice. It makes no difference how you present yourself here."
Reports
indicate the professor later apologised to the student.
