Delhi Police have issued look-out notice for three students in connection with the controversial event at JNU last week in which anti-India slogans were allegedly raised. The police communicated the matter to the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO), asking them to alert airport authorities so that the three suspects, believed to be JNU students, do not leave the country. Following this, the look-out notice was issued on Friday, a police source added.
The three have been identified as the main conspirators in connection with the event, over which a case of sedition was registered and JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested, the source said. The police tracked the students’ call details post February 9 till the day their phones were found to be switched off. Investigators have also recorded statements of more than a dozen JNU students who were witnesses, he said.
Meanwhile, the Special Cell has also been roped in the ongoing search operation across cities. Police are looking out for 10 persons in connection with the event at JNU.
Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested for participating and raising anti-national slogans during the Afzal event.
DM sends Kanhaiya Kumar video for forensic tests
A ‘doctored’ video allegedly showing arrested JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar as raising anti-India slogans has been sent to a forensic laboratory by the District Magistrate conducting a probe into the sedition row. The video was broadcast by certain news channels. It also went viral on social media and was widely used to condemn the organisers of the controversial event in JNU campus. Later, another set of news channels started broadcasting different version of the same video, questioning its authenticity.
