AGRA: Quashing the lower court's verdict of an acquittal, the Aligarh sessions court on Friday convicted an Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor for sexually harassing a foreign research scholar in 2015. The court sentenced him to one year of rigorous imprisonment. Subsequently, he was granted interim bail.
While hearing an appeal filed by the state government against the lower court's order, which had acquitted the accused, who is a professor at the university's business administration department, in September 2018, additional district and sessions judge Rajesh Bhardwaj quashed the verdict and convicted the accused.
