Silchar, Aug 11 (PTI) A police complaint has been filed against an assistant professor of Assam University for allegedly posting "derogatory" remarks about Lord Ram on a social networking site which has "hurt the religious sentiments of many", police said on Tuesday.

The complaint was filed by one Rohit Chanda, who claimed to be a member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), on August 8 against Anindya Sen, an assistant professor of the Silchar-based cenral university's English department. Sen had posted the alleged derogatory post on Facebook on the day of the bhoomi pujan or foundation ceremony for the Ram temple in Ayodhya on August 5.

The complainant further alleged that Sen had earlier posted matters defaming Hindu religion and had even abused the Prime Minister and Home Minister of the country. A police official said that the matter was under investigation under various sections of the IPC, related to obscene acts or words in public, deliberate and malicious acts to outrage religious feelings and printing or engraving matters known to be defamatory.

The police is yet to register the FIR, the official added. PTI DG MM MM 08112049 NNNNso released seven academy players whose contracts have ended, while another academy prospect has signed for another club.

The overhaul will lighten the wage bill and comes after the club appointed Paul Mitchell as its sporting director last week.

The 38-year-old Englishman, who is widely regarded as one of the most efficient talent scouts in Europe, previously worked with RB Leipzig and Premier League clubs Southampton and Tottenham.

Eight-time French champion Monaco has been struggling with consistency since upsetting PSG to win the league three years ago, when it also reached the Champions League semifinals with an exciting brand of soccer which produced more than 150 goals that season.

Mitchell's immediate task is building a strong enough squad to return to the Champions League.

Monaco finished a modest ninth last season, having narrowly avoided relegation the season before during a turbulent campaign where it sacked Leonardo Jardim, hired former France great Thierry Henry, then sacked Henry and re-hired Jardim.

Jardim, who guided Monaco to the 2017 league title, was then fired again last December to make way for Robert Moreno.

Moreno will be hoping to keep the 29-year-old France international Ben Yedder, who is being courted by several big clubs.

French clubs resumed training this week for the new season, which is set to start on Aug. 22. (AP)
