Tension erupts at Karnataka Medical College after professor proposes to student
Chaos broke out at Sri Siddhartha Medical College (SSMC) when an assistant professor publicly proposed to a female student in front of his class, sparking outrage among students who physically assaulted him.
The college, owned by Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara, has suspended the professor, and an FIR has been registered against him.
The professor, identified as Abdul, reportedly addressed the class, saying, “I could not resist the immense love given by the batch, and I would like to propose to one of the most important girls in your batch… and I shall distribute chocolates to the entire batch.”
He concluded by telling the woman, “I love you.”
