Gurugram, July 17:  A former Dean in the pharmaceutical wing of Gurugram University, Dhirender Kaushik, was arrested on Monday following a complaint filed given by a female assistant professor on April 29 accusing him of sexual exploitation, the police said.

According to the police, Kaushik was nabbed by a team led by Suman Sura, SHO of the women’s police station.
In her complaint, the victim said that she was repeatedly abused and molested since January 2023 by Kaushik.
