New Delhi: The research student from St Stephen’s College, who complained of being sexually assaulted by her college professor, has submitted audio recordings and SMS-es as proofs of her claims that she was pressured to take back her complaint.

Media reports said the student has produced recordings, purportedly of four meetings between her, college  principal Thampu and the accused professor Satish Kumar which were held on January 7, 9 and 10 in 2015.

The authenticity of the recordings is yet to be verified.

The PhD student has alleged that Thampu urged her to drop the sexual harassment complaint against the accused professor who was the college bursr.

The student also claims that Thampu said that he would ensure that her research is completed on time if she withdrew the charges. Thampu said that if she complained about the matter, it would attract media attention, she added.

Thampu has, however, said that there was no pressure put on the student to withdraw her complaint.
