Must give JNU prof 7 days’ notice before arrest in sexual harassment case: Court
The case stems from complaints by 16 students in May this year, who alleged that the professor made inappropriate remarks with sexual connotations during viva exams
A Delhi court has granted protection from immediate arrest to JNU professor and Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam in connection with a sexual harassment case, ordering the police to provide him with a seven-day notice before taking him into custody. The decision comes after Akoijam filed an anticipatory bail application, following allegations made by 16 students who accused him of making inappropriate remarks and engaging in unwanted physical contact during viva examinations.
The Delhi Police has stated that if incriminating material emerges during the probe, they will serve a seven-day notice before taking any coercive action against Akoijam.
