ðĨ Shocking Controversy Rocks Lucknow University
In a deeply polarizing incident that has stirred both outrage and debate across Uttar Pradesh and beyond, a senior professor from Lucknow University has been officially booked for making derogatory comments against spiritual leader Dhirendra Shastri, also known as Bageshwar Dham Sarkar. The remarks were made during a classroom discussion and quickly spread online, triggering widespread condemnation.
ð What Exactly Happened?
According to reports, the professor allegedly criticized Dhirendra Shastri’s teachings in a sarcastic tone, calling them “superstition packaged as spirituality.” A student recorded a portion of the conversation and circulated it on social media. Within hours, the clip went viral, leading to furious reactions from Shastri’s supporters and right-wing groups.
- The FIR was registered at Hasanganj police station under IPC Sections 295A and 505(2).
- The video clip is now being reviewed by cyber experts and university authorities.
- The professor has not yet been suspended but is under administrative inquiry.
ð University’s Reaction & Investigation
The Lucknow University administration has issued a formal statement confirming the receipt of complaints from multiple student bodies and religious organizations. The Vice-Chancellor has ordered a probe committee to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Meanwhile, the accused professor has claimed that his statements were taken out of context and misrepresented with malicious intent. He has also approached his legal counsel for defense.
ð Emotional Reactions & Public Outcry
Many followers of Dhirendra Shastri have taken to Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube expressing their anger and demanding strict action. Hashtags like #ArrestTheProfessor and #RespectDhirendraShastri are trending, with netizens arguing that spiritual beliefs should not be mocked, especially in educational institutions.
At the same time, several civil rights activists and academics are also speaking up, defending the professor’s right to freedom of speech and cautioning against religious intolerance in universities.
⚖️ What Legal Experts Are Saying
Legal experts suggest that this case could set a precedent for how academic freedom and religious sentiments intersect in India. While criticism is a part of educational dialogue, publicly circulating content without consent and inciting hatred is also a punishable offense under Indian law.
