The student concerned is reported to have immediately disputed the claim and asked the professor to raise the matter with the institution’s administration. She questioned the basis of his statements and sought clarification, while the professor reportedly claimed that CCTV footage supported his version.
During the exchange, the professor is also seen announcing that he wished to propose to a student, naming her before the class. The student is reported to have rejected the claim and insisted that any such matter be taken to the principal, stating that the entire class would accompany her.
As the situation escalated, the professor indicated that he would continue the discussion later and exited the classroom after distributing chocolates that had reportedly been brought for students.
Following his departure, tensions reportedly intensified within the campus. What began as a verbal disagreement is said to have escalated into a physical altercation, with the student and some classmates allegedly confronting the professor.
The incident falls under the jurisdiction of the Nelamangala Rural Police Station. Police officials have stated that no formal complaint has been filed by either party so far, though officers have visited the institution and are examining the circumstances surrounding the episode.
The college witnessed disruption following the incident, with videos continuing to circulate widely online. As of now, no official disciplinary action has been publicly announced by the institution.
