Controversy
[edit]On 23 July 2020, allegations of sexual harassment were made against Kar in a complaint email that was forwarded to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Burdwan. The allegations state that he has engaged in sexual relations with several of his students and has sexually abused at least one of them.[6][7]
However, in September 2021, Kolkata High Court took down all the charges against Dr. Kar, and also gave him clean chit.[8][9][10]
