A guest faculty at Aligarh Muslim University was booked over remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, police on Friday said.<\/p>\n
The comments, termed objectionable in a complaint, were allegedly made during a confrontation between the faculty member and AMU security personnel on the night of January 11.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the incident, AMU authorities issued a show cause notice to Arimandan Singh Pal, a guest lecturer in the university’s Sanskrit department.<\/p>\n
Pal was temporarily relieved after a preliminary investigation, AMU spokesperson Professor Vibha Sharma said in a press briefing on Friday.<\/p>\n
The matter came to light after a local Congress youth leader, Raja Bhaiya, lodged a complaint with the Civil Lines Police Station, demanding action against Pal.<\/p>\n
In an official statement, AMU Proctor Mohammad Waseem Ali said the varisty proctor had initiated an inquiry into the incident the same day it occurred.<\/p>\n
According to Ali, a group of students which witnessed the altercation tried to take Pal for a medical examination at the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Hospital to ascertain whether he was drunk. Pal, however, left the scene before being examined.<\/p>\n
Circle Officer Abhay Pandey said Pal has been charged for allegedly using abusive language against the Prime Minister, chief minister, and university officials.<\/p>\n
