Jharsuguda, Oct 25: A lecturer in Odisha's Jharsuguda district, who was assaulted by one of his students on February 22 this year, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday night after an eight-month-long battle at a hospital.
The lecturer has been identified as Amit Barik while the accused is identified as Rajesh Sahish, a +3 second-year student of PKSS Graduate College in the Kantapalli area of Odisha’s Jharsuguda district.
