New Delhi: The name of Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is once again linked to controversies. The midnight molestation of a PhD student here has raised questions about the security arrangements on the JNU campus. The student was molested while she was roaming around the premises. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Gaurav Sharma informed that a PhD student was walking near East Gate Road on campus around 11.45 pm on Monday night when a man from inside the premises came riding a bike and tried to molest her.
