Bhubaneswar: Students pursuing Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) in Indira Institute of Medical Science & Research (IIMSR) at Bharatpur in Bhubaneswar ransacked the institute today and brought sexual and mental harassment charges against the Director.

As per allegations, the Director identified as Kodanda Dhara Sahu alias Sunil Sahu is operating the institute without proper recognition. He had lured them for joining the institute on pretext of better job opportunities but is now harassing them.

Sahu has allegedly forced around 60 girls to stay in a building consisting of only four rooms including the kitchen. He has even not provided identity cards to the students who have already completed 10 months in the institute.

Refuting the allegations, Sahu said that the girls have taken the step after he seized their mobile phones. Some of them were having love affairs and despite informing their parents the students flouted norms of the institute.

He also has evidence to prove his point, added Sahu.
