THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A college professor was on Thursday remanded in police custody a day after he was arrested for allegedly raping a student.
The Kottiyam Police identified the accused as K J Rajan of the Government Law College in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Elavumthitta, Pathanamthitta native was arrested from his residence in Kesavadasapuram here on Wednesday night, after the 23-year-old final year LLB student lodged a complaint with Kollam city police commissioner Debesh Kumar Behra two days ago.
The student alleged that the professor had been sexually exploiting her since October last. He allegedly offered the woman expert legal aid in a property dispute her live-in partner was involved in. She complained that the professor had also promised to marry her and also give high grades in exams.
The woman approached the police when she felt cheated when he allegedly went back on his promises. She reportedly told the police that the professor was involved in similar relationship with four other students also.
The Law College authorities, meanwhile, said they had not received any complaint from the student, or any other student, against the professor. "There is an Atrocity Against Women Cell in the college. Its members are unaware of the complaint,'' A Prasanna, who took charge as principal of the college on April 1, said. Former principal S Usha said she too had not received any complaint from the student.
The students of the college said the complainant had once brought her infant to the college and created a scene, asking the professor to own up the baby's paternity. The students, however, added that the professor was well behaved in the college, and was adept in the subjects which he taught.
A Paravoor court on Thursday remanded the professor in police custody till April 30.
