JNU student Anirban Bhattacharya, who has been rusticated from the university in connection with the Afzal Guru event, was on Thursday served a show-cause notice by the varsity for his alleged involvement in a screening of Muzaffarnagar abhi baqi hai which was held last August.
“A complaint against you was received in Chief Proctor’s office in August, 2015. It has been alleged that you were involved in participation in screening of a documentary-film Muzaffarnagar abhi baqi hai without permission of the administration near Godvari dhaba,” the notice read.
“You are directed to appear before the Proctor on May 4 and explain your position in this regard. You may also bring your evidence which you may wish to submit in your defence,” it added.
Anirban along with JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid was arrested in a sedition case in connection with a controversial event on campus against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans have been allegedly raised. The trio are out on bail now.
