3 Proffesors arrested for abusing girl students

Hyderabad, February 28: The Rachakonda police has booked a case against three assistant professors of a private engineering college who allegedly demanded sexual favors from girl students in return for giving them more marks.

The trio allegedly sent the girl students flirtatious and vulgar messages on WhatsApp. The students, who are pursuing courses in various branches of engineering at Brilliant Engineering College, alleged that the teachers made sexual overtures and used obscene language.

The students showed these messages to student leaders, who then organized a protest demanding the arrest of the three assistant professors for harassment.
