The Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) has ordered the expulsion of a student from its hostel for three weeks for posting “offensive and insulting” remarks on social media against students belonging to the SC and ST community.
Another student Prashant Kanojia, who is a Dalit and incidentally is a complainant in the case regarding the remarks against the SC/ST community, has also been expelled
from the hostel of the premier journalism institute for a week for using “indecent and
vulgar language” against a faculty member on a Whatsapp group.
The IIMC enquiry panel observed that Utkarsh Singh had posted on Facebook issues related to reservation using “provocative and unparliamentary” words.
