A senior Hindi professor at Patna University has been suspended in connection with a “dance fest” held in his classroom last year. Incidentally, this was not the first time Hindi department head Matuknath Choudhary faced penal action at the hands of the varsity administration. Sources said the chancellor’s office communicated the suspension order to university vice-chancellor YC Simhadri, who wasted no time in complying. Another professor, Dilip Ram, has also been suspended for participating in the dance event along with retired staffer Shankar Prasad. Following his suspension, Choudhary was replaced by Sardendu – Hindi department head of Patna College – at the university.
