Director exited over sexual harassment inquiry: IIM-C

Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-C) has removed its director-in-charge Sahadeb Sarkar following a recommendation from its Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) in response to a sexual harassment allegation. The institute clarified that the removal was to ensure a fair inquiry and did not reflect the board’s opinion on the allegation. This comes after the resignation of two previous directors, one of whom complained about interference from the chairperson of the institute’s board of governors. Sarkar denied the allegations.
