Teacher dismissed from Kannur University over question on ADM’s death in exam

A guest lecturer at Kannur University was terminated for including a question referencing the death of a district magistrate in an exam. The lecturer, Sherin C. Abraham, defended the question, stating it was meant to engage students with a human rights issue. Despite the question being optional, a student objected and later protested, leading to the lecturer’s termination. The decision has been questioned by the Kannur University Senators’ Forum, who believe the termination was made under pressure. Efforts to reach the head of the Department of Law for comments were unsuccessful. The incident has caused classes to be suspended, with no reasons provided.
