The Vice-Chancellor of Gangadhar Meher University (GMU) has issued an advisory and called for a meeting of the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). The move aimed to review institutional safeguards and address allegations involving Assistant Professor Gopikant Suna.

Assistant Professor Arrested For Sexual Exploitation

Suna, who was serving in the Education Department since December 2023, is currently in judicial custody following his arrest by Mahila Police in Sambalpur. He was suspended from his position by the university on Thursday after his arrest.

According to police sources, Suna was arrested after a 20-year-old female student of the second-year BA BEd filed an FIR on July 16. She accused him of establishing a sexual relationship with her under the false promise of marriage and later refusing to marry her. The student also alleged that Suna had emotionally manipulated her and had similarly exploited other students, causing her mental distress.

Dance Video Sparks Public Attention

Amidst the controversy, a video showing Suna dancing energetically to DJ music on a public road has gone viral on social media. Even though the footage is unrelated to the ongoing case, its circulation just a day after his arrest has heightened public interest.
