A three-member committee constituted by Jadavpur University to probe claims that two students were subjected to harassment by then head of the English department during exam supervision because of their community will submit its report on January 29. ADVERTISEMENTThe panel had spoken to the other student on January 5, the day it recorded Saswati Halder’s statement, the former head of the department. Two other students from the department who protested the alleged harassment have also had their versions heard. “The former department head (Halder) requested us to speak to these teachers and students. It was unfortunate that Halder was asked to go on leave,” the teacher who did not wish to be named said.
