Varanasi
(Uttar Pradesh): Posting vulgar remarks against his
female batchmates on the popular social networking site Facebook
has landed a final year student of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU)
in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi district in trouble.
The university administration not only suspended Gaurav Ranjan for
three months, but also debarred this native of Jharkhand from
taking admission to any other course in the BHU in future.
"The disciplinary action against Gaurav was taken after completion
of the enquiry on the complaint registered by his two female
batchmates in October," BHU spokesperson Rajesh Singh told
reporters Thursday in Varanasi, some 300 km from Lucknow.
According to officials, Ranjan was troubling the two girl students
by not only posting vulgar comments about them on Facebook, but by
also sending them obscene SMSes.
"More stringent action would be taken against him if he indulges
in any misconduct during the three months. We will also prevent
him from availing the residential facilities being offered by the
BHU. It means the varsity administration will also end all his
hostel privileges," said Singh.
