An assistant professor in his late 30s, who worked in Assam's Dibrugarh University, has been arrested after he uploaded obscene content on a pornographic site.

The professor worked in the Mathematics department and a complaint was lodged against him by the registrar of the university, who claimed that he uploaded pornographic content on the internet. In the video that has gone viral on the internet, a person resembling the educator is seen in a compromising position with a woman. We raided his house on Thursday evening and seized his laptop. During interrogation, the educator confessed of having videographed the pornographic content with a woman in a hotel in Guwahati three years ago. The camera used for recording has been seized after a raid in Amolapatty area of Dibrugarh, an investigating official reportedly mentioned.

The accused professor had mentioned that the woman in the video was not a student of the university. This was confirmed after the police cross-checked the same with professors and other authorities of the institute. On getting information about a viral video of the assistant professor, we issued him a show-cause notice on June 26 seeking an explanation within five days. His reply came on June 30 but upon finding it unsatisfactory, we lodged an FIR against him, the registrar who filed a complaint against the professor said. An enquiry committee has been constituted to look into the matter and as per the university rules, if any accused person stays in police custody for more than 48 hours, he or she will be suspended from service, he added.

The accused assistant professor has been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and IT Act. The police mentioned that the professor will be produced in a court soon.
