Tamil Nadu: Professor accused of asking sexual favours for degrees arrested
Chennai, Apr 17 (IBNS): A Tamil Nadu professor, who has been accused of asking for sexual favours on behalf of college officials for academic degrees, has been arrested, media reports said.
Nirmala Devi (46) of Devanga Arts College has been arrested in less than 24 hours after the matter came to public.
The students had informed the college about the matter a month ago.
It was on Monday the students had approached the police.
Nirmala Devi is allegedly close to Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit, who is also the Chancellor of the University.
Purohit had ordered an inquiry into the matter through a bureaucrat on Monday.
An audio clip has circulated on social media in which the professor was heard offering good financial and academic supports in return of sexual benefits.
