S.A.R. Geelani's bail plea rejected
A Delhi Court on Friday dismissed the bail plea of former DU professor SAR Geelani, who was arrested on charges of sedition in connection with an event at the Press Club of India.
New Delhi: A Delhi Court on Friday dismissed the bail plea of former DU professor SAR Geelani, who was arrested on charges of sedition in connection with an event at the Press Club of India.
Geelani, who has been lodged in Jail No. 1 of Tihar, was sent to 14-day judicial custody yesterday. He was produced in the court yesterday after his two-day police custody ended on Thursday.
Geelani was detained on Monday night and questioned for several hours before being put under arrest.
Geelani's arrest came amid a raging controversy over the arrest of Jawaharlal Nehru University's students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar on sedition charges.
After a case was registered, the police questioned DU professor Ali Javed, a Press Club member, who had booked the hall for the event.
A group, which was allegedly led by Geelani, had shouted slogans hailing Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during a public meeting at the Press Club on February 10.
