Janata Dal United (JD-U) leader Sharad Yadav on Thursday said that former Justice A.K Ganguly who has been accused of sexually harassing a law intern should be arrested.
"If he does not agree to resign the Police should arrest him or investigate further in the matter,' said Yadav.
On Sunday, Additional Solicitor General Indira Jaising wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and sought the removal of Justice Ganguly as chairman of the West Bengal Human Rights Commission.
Justice Ganguly has been accused of sexually assaulting a law intern who worked with him. The Supreme Court had set up a three-judge panel, which heard testimonies from both, the law intern and Ganguly and submitted its report to the Chief Justice of India, P. Sathasivam, naming Ganguly as the accused.
The alleged sexual molestation incident is said to have taken place in a five-star hotel in Delhi last December.
