Ratnam, Head of Centre for Ambedkar Studies and faculty member of Department of Political Science and Sengupta, faculty member of Department of Mathematics, were on Monday served with
suspension notice for allegedly not informing the university about their detention by police for more than 48 hours on March 22. "It is an unjust suspension and we (Ratnam and Sengupta)
are continuing with the relay hunger strike," Ratnam told PTI, adding that students, faculty members and civil society have expressed solidarity with them. Meanwhile, six students from
different city-based universities joined the faculty members in their protest on Wednesday. The SC/ST Teachers Forum had also alleged that the university's action against the two
faculty members was taken "in a fit of vindictiveness" and sought revocation of their suspension.
