New Delhi: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Anmol Ratan, accused of raping a 28-year-old fellow student in the university hostel, was today remanded to 14 days judicial custody by a Delhi court.
A magisterial court at Patiala House courts complex sent Mr Ratan to jail after Delhi Police decided not to seek his custody.
The court also directed jail authorities to provide him proper medical facilities after he submitted that he was suffering from a heart ailment.
Mr Ratan, accused of raping a first-year Ph.D student on August 20, had surrendered before the police last night, hours after the victim recorded her statement before a magistrate.

Later, he picked her up on August 20 on the pretext of giving her the CD and took her to Brahamputra Hostel, where he stayed. There he allegedly offered her a spiked drink and raped her.
