What's behind this

The Delhi High Court directed the city police to issue a seven‑day prior notice before taking any coercive action against Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, a Congress MP and former Jawaharlal Nehru University professor, in a sexual‑harassment case. The case arose from complaints by 16 students in May, who said the professor made inappropriate remarks with sexual connotations during viva examinations. The court’s order applies to any arrest or dismissal of the professor pending further proceedings.
