Sirsa: Students and teachers at Chaurdhary Devilal University, Sirsa, are up in arms after physics professor Dr Praveen Agmakar, who is also the university’s exam controller, committed suicide.
Agmakar who resides with his wife and daughter at the university campus hanged himself inside the bathroom in his home on Wednesday.
Protesters alleged that the university authorities had over-burdened him with work and called for an impartial probe in the case.
As many as 15 teachers of the university resigned from additional charge, and the protestors demanded the resignation of the vice chancellor till the completion of inquiry.
