Delhi University teacher who alleged sexual harassment dies of burns

New Delhi: A teacher who used to work at Delhi University has died in hospital after she set herself on fire outside the state government headquarters nearly a week ago.

Pavitra Bhardwaj was rushed to hospital on September 30 with almost 90 per cent burns.

The 40-year-old reportedly told the police before dying that she was driven to suicide as no one acted on her complaint of sexual harassment, allegedly by the principal of BR Ambedkar college, where she worked till two years ago.

Ms Bhardwaj was allegedly forced to quit as chemistry lab assistant at the college in 2011. She had reportedly complained repeatedly of harassment by the principal, GK Arora, but a university panel reportedly backed the principal.

Several teachers at the college, staff and students had protested against Ms Bhardwaj's dismissal.

"She had been harassed for over three years," said her husband, Dharmendra Bhardwaj, "the damage is done...now we just want justice."
