Nainital, January 18
The Uttarakhand High Court on Friday stayed the arrest of former state BJP general secretary Sanjay Kumar, accused of sexual harassment by a woman.
Justice NS Dhanik also directed the state to file a reply within four weeks, after which the matter will be listed for the final hearing, said Kumar’s advocate Aditya Singh.
A woman, who worked at the state BJP office, approached the police accusing Kumar of sexually harassing her for months. She had also accused the party leadership of not acting in the matter despite repeated complaints.
The BJP had removed Kumar from the post after the incident came to light last year. —PTI
