BV Srinivas was granted protection from arrest by the Supreme Court in the case filed by a former member of the Indian Youth Congress
At the Supreme Court hearing of the harassment case against Indian Youth Congress chief BV Srinivas today, Justice BR Gavai heard the Assam government's lawyer's submissions - and then asked about the "ED and CBI" on a lighter note.
Srinivas was granted protection from arrest by the Supreme Court in the case filed by a former member of the Indian Youth Congress, who alleged Srinivas harassed her and caused "mental agony".
Srinivas's lawyer Abhishek Singhvi told the Supreme Court the woman raised the allegations of discrimination on Twitter before filing the complaint. Mr Singhvi said she gave six interviews to the media before she filed the complaint and none of her statement contained "sexual harassment allegations".
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, the Assam government's lawyer, said Srinivas did not respond to the police's summons and to the notice issued by the National Commission for Women.
