JNU professor booked for molesting student

Last month, another JNU professor was arrested on charges of sexually harassing nine women students. He was later granted bail by a city court.

More than 98 per cent of students have voted against the imposition of compulsory attendance in a referendum conducted by the JNUSU. The results of the referendum were announced on Thursday.
