Corporator beats up literature prof

A Marathi literature professor was attacked by a corporator after the politician’s daughter - one of his students - told her father the professor had projected him in bad light during a lecture.

S K Mhaske, who teaches at Birla College, Kalyan, was discussing criminalisation of politics in his FYBA class last Thursday. Perhaps he didn’t realise that one of the students happened to be the daughter of Kalyan corporator Arjun Bhoir.

Mhaske, 54, insists he did not name anyone in his lecture, but Bhoir allegedly told college officials that his daughter said the lecturer painted him a villain.

“Under Marathi literature, which is a vast subject, we were discussing criminalisation of politics,” said the professor. “I did not take any politician’s name, but for some reason Bhoir got upset.”
