#JNUCrackdown: Student Union President Kanhaiya Kumar to be produced in court today

Speed News Desk | Updated on: 14 February 2017, 5:41 IST

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar, who has been arrested and charged with sedition for allegedly raising anti-India slogans, will be produced before a Delhi court on Monday as his three-day police remand ends.

Kumar was arrested on Friday allegedly for raising anti-India slogans at an event organised by students on the JNU campus to commemorate the death of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, who was executed in 2013.

He was sent to three-day police custody after the Delhi Police told the court that they wanted to probe his alleged links to 'terrorist groups'.

Kumar was arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy and sedition under sections 124A and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. (ANI)
