New Delhi: A court here has sought action taken report (ATR) from Delhi Police on a plea filed by a JNU professor seeking registration of FIR in a case related to attack on students and teachers in the varsity campus on January 5. Metropolitan Magistrate Ankita Lal directed the concerned Station House Officer (SHO) to file the report by March 25.
