On May 7, the Supreme Court of India annulled the anticipatory bail granted to Sheik Abdulla Mohammed, a suspended police officer from Tamil Nadu, accused of sexually harassing a 23-year-old law student aboard a train. The incident, which occurred in December 2025 on the Central-Coimbatore intercity train, involved the officer allegedly inappropriately touching the student while she was traveling alone. The student recorded the incident and reported it to the railway police, leading to the officer's detention and subsequent suspension. The Supreme Court criticized the Madras High Court's earlier decision to grant bail based on the officer's suspension, deeming the reasoning legally inadequate. The apex court has remanded the case back to the High Court for a fresh review of the bail plea, allowing both parties to present their arguments. This case has raised significant concerns regarding women's safety in public transport in Tamil Nadu.
