New Delhi, March 19

Accusing the police of disregarding procedures, 54 JNU professors today demanded registration of separate FIRs in all eight complaints of sexual harassment filed against Prof Atul Johri.

They petitioned to the DCP (Southwest), Milind Dumbere, two days after the police registered an FIR against Prof Johri following allegations of sexual harassment by a group of women students. 

The teachers said eight complaints were filed by many women students, however, the police chose to register only one FIR based on only one of the complaints.

Such serious sexual offences are being treated in breach of law and the SC judgments on the matter, the professors said. – PTI
