The three-member committee, which met with the department head and one of the two students on Monday, will submit its report on January 30. On December 30, a West Bengal Minority Commission (WBMC) team recommended that the department head be barred from campus pending completion of the probe. According to the professor, the department head did her job because, as teachers, they cannot let students adopt unfair means during the examinations. She has been frisking students like any other teacher, regardless of a student’s religious or community identity. Professor Halder has been left traumatised over the way she was made to go on leave,” the professor said.
