Fresh video with cops shows Kanhaiya objecting to anti-national slogans

After much hullabaloo over JNU students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar’s alleged anti-national activities on the JNU campus on February 9 that led to the Delhi Police to slap sedition charges on him has taken an interesting turn. This turn, however, negates the claims of Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi on having “enough evidences” to nail Kanhaiya.

A police official privy to the investigation said: “Kanhaiya Kumar is spotted objecting to the anti-national sloganeering in the JNU campus.” Meanwhile, sources claim that the police are finding it tough to prove the sedition charges farmed against Kanhaiya.

Meanwhile, Kanhaiya who was in one-day-police custody has been sent back to Tihar Jail after his face-to-face interrogation was completed with Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya. On Friday afternoon, he was sent to judicial custody and the police team investigating the case is satisfied with the day-long interrogation of the trio.

On Friday, a police official close to investigation, requesting anonymity told Millennium Post that a video has been obtained by cops, that is supposedly said to be a raw video, spotting Kanhaiya. 

However, the official refused to share more information about the video, refusing to say whether the date of the video was February 9 or February 11.

The officer further said that the video that is in their possession does not even show him raising slogans related to Afzal Guru. 

He was spotted sloganeering seeking freedom from poverty, Brahmanism, feudalism and capitalism. When others started raising anti-national slogans he immediately objected them and tried to stop it. 

The persons, spotted in this fresh video, who were raising anti-national slogans, are yet to be identified.

When Kanhaiya reached the police station on Thursday to join the investigation, the duo — Umar Khalid and Anirban showed a sympathetic gesture towards him and after Kanhaiya was sent back to Tihar jail, the duo said “Lal Salam” to him but Kanhaiya did not respond and went out of the police station after passing a smile to them, a source said.

The source further added that so far no evidence has been found that can prove that Kanhaiya was raising anti-national slogans. 

“After examining the trio and the initial videos including the fresh videos, it seems that Kanhaiya was being targeted by foreign elements and JNU students including Khalid. The probe is still on and the forensic report about the authenticity of the footages shown by the news channel is awaited,” he added.
