The college, owned by Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara, has suspended the professor, and an FIR has been registered against him.

The professor, identified as Abdul, reportedly addressed the class, saying, “I could not resist the immense love given by the batch, and I would like to propose to one of the most important girls in your batch… and I shall distribute chocolates to the entire batch.”

He concluded by telling the woman, “I love you.”

A confrontation followed between the professor and the female student, during which Abdul claimed that the student had previously expressed her love for him and that he had proof, including CCTV footage.

The student denied proposing, asking, “When did I propose?” Abdul ended the conversation by saying, “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

In a shocking turn, students reacted violently after the incident went viral on campus.

Videos show the female student hitting the professor with her footwear, while other students joined in, chasing and assaulting him near his car. Abdul sustained injuries but managed to escape.

The college administration has confirmed the professor’s suspension, stating that a formal investigation is underway.

Law enforcement officials are examining the videos and eyewitness accounts as part of the ongoing probe.
