A man arrested by the police for sending lewd messages to a Delhi University professor has been denied bail by a court here. The court said in the light of the President's ordinance amending the criminal law to make it stricter to deal with offences against women, the matter did not warrant bail. Metropolitan Magistrate Ekta Gauba denied bail to Suman Raj, who was working as an attendant at Kalindi college in the city.
Raj was arrested on 11 March on the complaint of a lady professor of the same college. The complainant had told the police that Raj was sending her vulgar and obscene SMSes. He has been booked under section 354D IPC, which has been added to the Indian Penal Code by the President's ordinance in February and deals with offence of stalking. The lady alleged the accused had been sending her indecent messages compelling and even threatening her to ‘establish personal relationship with him’. In order to avoid advances from him, she changed her mobile number but Raj managed to get her new number too.
