BMC's POSH committee finds Nair hospital associate professor guilty of sexually harassing MBBS student
An associate professor of BYL Nair Hospital has been found guilty after a sexual harassment allegations complaint filed by a MBBS student who is also a athlete were proven true. The BMC-run Local Complaints Committee (LCC) - BMC's Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) committee which investigated the sexual harassment complaint issued a series of recommendations including the immediate transfer of the professor until the student finishes her studies.
It had given the hospital 15 days to confirm that the recommendations had been implemented. LCC is a key component of the Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 which addresses the issue of sexual harassment of women in workplaces and is a forum for the redressal of such complaints.
