Here it is–brief and simple:

young core indian girl, studious, bright but shy, not very outgoing, secretive, just out of her parents’ home and exposed to the outside world;

joined a PhD course at SLS;

not so old supervisor winning her trust with little gestures;

sharing food together; praising her; making her work harder and finding excuses to lengthen her stay in the lab;

making her sit closer to him while discussing the lab results in his office; touching her gently; having food togther at the cafe; treating her loved, worthy and all that crap a girl yearns for;

Having never been touched or felt that way, that girl was getting attracted to him and finally she gave in;

she let him touch her; feel her;

he knew a dark spot in the campus; drove there late night; made her do things she had never done;

this continued for couple of weeks until the girl discovered that he was married and have kids;

he had no regrets; he continued to make efforts to be in a situation where he could use her for his pleasures;

many times, he forced her to come to lab late nights at 2,3 am.

he is a well-respected scientist but with such low moral values;

even after the girl got married, he tried to touch her, kiss her and forced her to give herself in.

she learnt her lessons the hard way. she’s not had any contact with her supervisor after her degree.

she has not forgiven herself for not saying NO the very first time; she should have shared this with her friends;

she couldn’t do it because he won her trust first and made her believe that he’s a good human being. he showed that he really cared for. he raped that girl of her feelings, her emotions and youth.

She shared this with me and I don’t know how to help her. I thought to write to GSCASH at JNU but couldn’t find their contact details and that is when I came across your post.

I hope you can help by letting it not happen to more girls. I want new entrants especially girls who are reserved and less confident, to be made aware of such issues at a student meeting right after admission.

faculties should not have separate rooms with brick walls; they should be transparent or sit in the lab itself.

I hope you can help spread the issue and prevent any more girls from being molested.

Thanks in advance.
