The Delhi High court today reserved its verdict on the bail plea of JNU students union president Kanhaiya Kumar. Delhi Police claimed in the court that they have witnesses who have identified Kanhaiya and others raising anti-India slogans on Feburary 9 at the campus.The Court will pronounce the order on March 2.
Kanhaiya Kumar refuted the allegation of police.Kumar, who is in the judicial custody, submitted through senior advocate Kapil Sibal, that anti-India slogans inside the campus were raised by people with covered face.
The senior advocate also questioned the conduct of the Delhi police on registering the FIR on the basis of a TV video.Mr. Sibal also submitted before the court why the FIR was not registered on that day itself as police personnel were present in plain cloths during the event Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Delhi police, defended its stand on arresting Kanhaiya.
He said there was evidence, including pamphlets and statements of the
witnesses, which clearly state that Kanhaiya and others were shouting anti-India slogans and were holding Afzal Guru’s posters.
However, the ASG’s claim was opposed by AAP government appointed senior standing counsel, Rahul Mehra, who said Kanhaiya is a student and he cannot be involved in anti-India movement.
