The incident took place on Tuesday (April 1), when several students started to meet Gore around 2 p.m. and protested against the lack of infrastructure and academic activities on campus despite high costs.
Earlier this week, a group of students at the Delhi School of Journalism (DSJ) – affiliated with the University of Delhi (DU) – appealed to the director of the Institute to offer more facilities and to match the “exorbitant” reimbursements that are charged by the college.
In response to the students’ requests, the director – Professor Bharati Gore – reportedly threatened students. “Joote se Peetungi, Stay Stop (I will hit you with my shoe, stay still),” the professor could hear in an alleged video, which circulates on social media.
However, Gore has denied the allegations.
