Ramanujan College, affiliated with Delhi University, has suspended a third-year student, Anas Khan, until February 1, 2027, following accusations of attempting to lure female students, particularly freshers, to accompany him to a concert in Ahmedabad by offering gifts and monetary incentives.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that the student, Anas Khan, who is currently in his fifth semester pursuing a BA (Honours) in Hindi, was suspended after the college’s proctorial committee reviewed a complaint, heard Khan’s statement, and considered preliminary inquiry findings.
According to the official suspension order, Khan is alleged to have approached female students, offering them financial benefits, presents, and other inducements to travel to Ahmedabad for a Diljit Dosanjh concert. This disciplinary action prohibits Khan from participating in regular academic activities and campus extracurricular programmes for the duration of his suspension. However, he will be permitted to take his scheduled university examinations and may visit the college for internal assessments or assignments, provided he obtains prior permission from the proctor.
The college has also mandated that Khan submit a written undertaking acknowledging the gravity of the accusations and pledging not to repeat such behaviour. The order further cautioned that any recurrence of similar conduct or further involvement in significant disciplinary matters could lead to more severe sanctions, including expulsion from the institution, following due legal process.
The controversy has also seen Khan dissociate himself from the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), an organisation with which he was previously associated and ran as a candidate during the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections. The NSUI had previously suspended him on September 12, citing alleged anti-organisational activities and indiscipline during the election period.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the NSUI confirmed Khan’s immediate suspension, stating he would no longer be authorised to represent or engage in the organisation’s activities. Separately, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has called for a fair and time-bound investigation into the allegations. The ABVP has also demanded strict legal action if the accusations are proven to be true.
The ABVP further referenced alleged WhatsApp messages circulating on social media, which purportedly indicate that Khan offered female freshers, some reportedly aged 17 to 18, concert outings and travel arrangements in exchange for spending time with specific individuals and facilitating financial gains. The organisation emphasised that the authenticity of these messages and the claims requires thorough verification through an impartial investigation.
