JNU row: Petition filed in Delhi High Court seeking cancellation of bail granted to Kanhaiya Kumar

New Delhi: A day after JNU's high-level probe panel recommended rustication of Kanhaiya Kumar, a petition has been filed in Delhi High Court seeking cancellation of bail granted to him.

A petition has been filed in Delhi High Court seeking cancellation of interim bail granted to JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar.

Kanhaiya, Umar and Anirban were arrested on charges of sedition in connection with the programme. Kanhaiya was released on bail from Tihar on March 3 while Umar and Anirban are still in judicial custody.

Earlier, on Monday, a high-level committee of JNU had recommended rustication of Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and two other students for their alleged role in a controversial event last month at which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.

Sources, however, said a decision on the recommendation by the panel will be taken by Vice Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar and Chief Proctor A Dimri after a thorough scrutiny of the suggestions.
