Justice For Pavitra by immediately arresting suspended Principal Dr Aora
Petitioning: Lt Governor, Govt of NCT Delhi
Petitioner: Rajesh Jha started on October 15, 2013
Several letters written by Late Pavitra Bhardwaj, mostly in her own handwriting, are a stark testimony to a sustained sexual and mental harassment by the Principal Dr G K Arora. These letters are desperately addressed to various authorities from College Chairman, Vice Chancellor, Lt Governor, CM and National Women Commission, expressing her only plea to save her dignity as a women and her life. It is tragic that she had to take this avoidable and unfortunate step of self-immolation, when she found herself helpless as a terminated employee. This illegal termination of her services was done by Dr Arora without the permission of the GB for raising her voice against sexual harassment.
A precious life has been lost and the entire university community is aghast but the attitude of Delhi Police is shockingly protective towards Dr Arora. Delhi Police has failed to see the sensitivity of the matter and the degree of crime on the part of Dr Arora and they are yet to arrest him while the dying declaration of Late Pavitra and her several letters would make anybody shudder and perceive this case to be a case of sustained sexual and mental harassment leading to suicide.
We appeal to the Lt Governor as being the Head of the state to ensure immediate arrest of suspended Principal Dr Arora.
