JAIPUR (INDIA)
Mirror Now

In the wake of the MeToo movement making inroads in India in the past couple of months, an appalling matter has come to light from Jaipur in Rajasthan where a 44-year-old woman has accused the vice principal of a missionary-run college of sexually exploiting her. In her complaint, the woman has accused one priest named Joshy Kuruvilla of harassing and pressurising her to court sexual favours.
What is even more shocking is that an internal committee formed by college authorities to investigate the matter under the ambit of the Vishakha Guidelines, in its report submitted on December 22 of last year, found the complainant ‘indisciplined’ and recommended action against her. The committee had launched a probe following a complaint by the woman on July 26 of 2018.
