Days before, Sarkar made headlines, for the deleted Facebook post titled Virgin Bride Why Not?’, in which he compared virgin brides to 'cold drinks' sealed bottle'. "Are you willing to buy a broken seal while purchasing a bottle of cold drink or a packet of biscuits? A girl is born sealed from birth until it is opened. A virgin girl means many things accompanied with values, culture, and sexual hygiene. To most boys virgin wife is like angel," Sarkar wrote in a Facebook post.

Meanwhile, earlier today, Students of Jadavpur University staged a protest in campus demanding the suspension of professor Sarkar over his misogynist Facebook post. The comment was also condemned by Jadavpur University Teachers’ Association (JUTA). However, the university officials haven't made any statement.
