Srinagar: After charging a college lecturer for including a passage on the recent unrest in an examination paper, police have booked a university professor for preparing a question paper with an 'obscene passage'.
Sahitya Academy Award winner, Dr. Shad Ramzan, a senoir professor at the Kashmiri department of Kashmir University is accused to have included a 'passage on breasts' in the Kashmiri language paper for the BA First Year students. The students were asked to translate the English passage on breasts into Kashmiri language.
Police has accused the professor of promoting 'immorality and obscenity'. and filed a case against the professor at the Harzratbal police station, though he has not been arrested yet.
The passage reads: "From the ancient times, women have been concerned about the shape and size of their breasts. Breast development is the vital part of reproduction in human females. Unlike other mammals, however, human females are the only ones who develop full breasts long before they are needed to nurse their offspring."
A newspaper quoting a senior police officer said, Ramzan was guilty of "moral turpitude" and had been booked under Section 294 of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) for promoting "immorality and obscenity", being a cognizable offence it warranted police action.
Meanwhile, police said they are investigating the case and action will be taken against all those who had a role in allowing the passage in the examination paper.
"There may be other persons who are also responsible. We will not spare anybody," a police official said.
Earlier this month, police arrested Noor Mohammad Bhat, HoD, English department at Srinagar's Gandhi college for including a passage on the recent unrest in the Valley. Bhat was booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
