The police on Monday arrested absconding instructor of the city-based Bhubanananda Odisha School of Engineering (BOSE) Durga Prasanna Sinha, who has been booked for allegations of sexual harassment and outraging the modesty of a student. Sinha, however, was granted bail by a court here on the day. Sources said Sinha, who went underground ever since the allegations were made against him on Monday last week, was on his way to surrender before the court. But the Mangalabag police intercepted and took him under custody. He was later produced before the SDJM court here from where he was released on bail. A first year student of the school has brought the allegations against the instructor, and when no action was taken against him, irate students went on rampage in the school premises damaging properties. “An assessment committee of the school has pegged the loss between Rs3.5 lakh and Rs4 lakh,” informed school Principal PK Mohanty. Normalcy returned to the school campus on Monday and classes were held as usual. However, the police deployment inside the campus continued as a precautionary measure.
