JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was released from the Tihar Jail here on Thursday evening, a day after the Delhi High Court gave him a six-month interim bail, jail authorities said.

New Delhi: JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was released from the Tihar Jail here on Thursday evening, a day after the Delhi High Court gave him a six-month interim bail, jail authorities said. They said two Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) professors and one of his lawyers came to the prison with judicial orders for his release.
"Kanhaiya was released from the jail around 6.30 p.m. He left along with the professors and the lawyer," Mukesh Prasad, the jail's deputy inspector general, said. The student leader was arrested on February 12 on sedition charges for allegedly raising anti-national slogans at an event in the JNU campus -- a charge he has repeatedly denied.
Meanwhile, a Delhi government report found no direct link of anti-national slogans with Kanhaiya Kumar. "No direct link" had been found with JNU Students Union president Kanhaiya Kumar with anti-India sloganeering in the JNU campus, said a Delhi government report.
"I have submitted the report to the Delhi government late last (Wednesday) night," District Magistrate, New Delhi, Sanjay Kumar, said. Sanjay Kumar refused to divulge the details but an official privy to the report, who did not want to be named, said: "The DM report says they could not find any link between what Kanhaiya said and the anti-India slogans.
