Hyderabad: A senior professor at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad, has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman working as a guest faculty member at the university. The incident, which reportedly occurred several months ago, came to light after the victim filed a formal complaint with the police. According to police officials, the accused professor developed acquaintance with the woman soon after she joined the university. Belonging to the same social community, he allegedly gained her trust by presenting himself as a mentor-like figure who wished to support her professionally.
