New Delhi: The Delhi police on Monday filed a 1,200-page chargesheet in a court in connection with the sedition case against former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar and others. The 2016 case pertains to allegations that anti-national slogans were raised at an event organised by Kumar, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya in Jawaharlal Nehru University campus after the hanging of Parliament-attack mastermind Afzal Guru.
The registration of the case and their subsequent arrest had triggered a huge controversy with the opposition slamming police for “working at the behest of the ruling BJP”. The police brought a trunk full of the 1,200-page chargesheet in the 2016 case and filed it before the Patiala House court of the capital. Metropolitan Magistrate Sumit Anand put up the chargesheet for consideration before a competent court on Tuesday.
“If the news is true that a chargesheet has been filed, I would like to thank police and Modiji. The filing of chargesheet after 3 years, ahead of elections, clearly shows it to be politically motivated. I trust the judiciary of my country,” Kumar said.
