A video showing a college professor marrying a student at Haringhata Technology College in West Bengal has gone viral, sparking controversy on social media. The video, which was reportedly filmed in the Psychology Department, shows the professor dressed as a bride, exchanging garlands with the student, who applies sindoor (vermilion) to her forehead. This unexpected scene has raised serious questions, prompting the university to take swift action.

The incident, which occurred at the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT)-affiliated institution, led to an investigation. The university formed an inquiry panel to look into the matter. In response, the professor, who is a faculty member in the Applied Psychology Department, has been sent on leave. The student involved has also been instructed not to attend classes. Tapash Chakrabortty, the acting Vice-Chancellor of Haringhata College, stated, “We spoke with the professor, and she explained that it was part of a classroom exercise. However, we are not satisfied with her explanation and have started a probe. The professor has been sent on leave.”

Professor’s Explanation:

In her defense, the professor claimed that the wedding ceremony was part of a psychodrama exercise for her students. She asserted there was no immoral or inappropriate intent behind the act, and the video was meant for internal use only. She also expressed her belief that the video had been leaked with the intention of damaging her reputation.

“This was misinterpreted. It was part of a classroom project and a drama planned for the fresher’s party. It was intentionally made viral as part of a conspiracy against me,” the professor said. “I will file a police complaint against those who tried to defame me.”

The professor further explained that she had agreed to take on the role at the request of the students, and the entire act was done as a performance following a script. “Other faculty members were aware of the project, and no one objected at the time. My first-year students and I acted according to the script. This was not meant to be taken seriously. I agreed only because the students asked me,” she added.

As the investigation continues, the university’s actions highlight the seriousness with which it is addressing the incident, while the professor insists that the incident was part of a classroom activity and not a case of misconduct.
