A sessions court has granted anticipatory bail to a 61-year-old professor booked on charges of alleged sexual harassment. The professor, who denied the allegations, had approached the court seeking bail, stating the complaint might stem from a misunderstanding or personal grudge. Police opposed the plea, citing the need for custodial interrogation. An FIR was filed following a complaint by a female faculty member, alleging nine students were harassed by the guest speaker during a college festival on November 26.
