In the wake of the incident, AMU authorities issued a show cause notice to Arimandan Singh Pal, a guest lecturer in the university’s Sanskrit department.

Pal was temporarily relieved after a preliminary investigation, AMU spokesperson Professor Vibha Sharma said in a press briefing on Friday.

The matter came to light after a local Congress youth leader, Raja Bhaiya, lodged a complaint with the Civil Lines Police Station, demanding action against Pal.

In an official statement, AMU Proctor Mohammad Waseem Ali said the varisty proctor had initiated an inquiry into the incident the same day it occurred.

According to Ali, a group of students which witnessed the altercation tried to take Pal for a medical examination at the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Hospital to ascertain whether he was drunk. Pal, however, left the scene before being examined.

Circle Officer Abhay Pandey said Pal has been booked for allegedly using abusive language against the prime Minister, chief minister, and university officials. (PTI)
