Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Atul Johri was arrested by the city police on Tuesday for alleged sexual harassment of several women students. He was produced before a Delhi court.

Mr. Johri was produced before duty magistrate Ritu Singh, where he moved a bail plea, saying sending him to jail would spoil



his career.

Students, professors and women rights organisations have been protesting demanding his arrest, after several students accused him of sexual harassment.

An FIR was filed against the Department of Life Sciences professor based on one of the eight complaints from women students.
