SAR Geelani, a Delhi University professor accused of sedition, will remain in jail for another fortnight. Detained within days of JNU student body president Kanhaiya Kumar’s arrest, Geelani’s judicial custody was extended till March 16 by a Delhi court on Thursday.

The 46 year-old professor had pleaded for bail before a Delhi court on February 19 but his application was denied the next day by metropolitan magistrate Harwinder Singh.
