By SNV Sudhir

Visakhapatnam, Dec 6,2012: Visuals of a 56-year-old professor of Andhra University reportedly caught with a woman in his office were aired on a news channel here on Thursday.The telecast purported to show Prof. Jagarapu Ramu Naidu, who teaches economics at AU’s School of Distance Education, in a compromising position with the woman.
It is alleged that he sought sexual favours from the woman who had approached him for a certificate.
The woman, with the help of the news channel, is said to have filmed the professor with a hidden camera.
The professor wasn’t available for comment when the reporter tried to reach him.
Following the airing of visuals of a professor of Andhra University in a compromising situation with a married woman on a Telugu news channel, activists of several women’s welfare organisations condemned the professor’s act as “shameful”, coming from one whose job was to build the character of students. The woman, however, preferred not to come out in the open. “AU authorities should immediately dismiss him from his job,” said AIDWA member Swaroopa Rani.The professor, denying his involvement totally, said he was being framed. “We will register a case if we get any complaint,” said ACP (East) S. Venkat Rao.
