The management committee of Bagla Degree College in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India, has accepted the voluntary retirement of Professor Rajnish Kumar, who faced allegations of sexual exploitation but was acquitted by a local court on March 24, 2025. The court found insufficient evidence and noted that the alleged victims failed to corroborate their claims. Following a management meeting, the college decided to bar Kumar from entering the premises. Kumar's counsel, Virendra Chaudhary, confirmed that the professor voluntarily opted for retirement but criticized the decision to prohibit his entry as unjustified, indicating a potential legal challenge against the college's ruling. The case against Kumar arose after a student reported the allegations to the women's commission, leading to his arrest in Prayagraj after he initially absconded. The court ultimately determined that the allegations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, raising concerns about the possibility of fabricated evidence.
