Описание: #QuestionsAbout


Former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students Umar Khalid, Kanhaiya Kumar and Anirban Bhattacharya were Monday charged with sedition, rioting and unlawful assembly by Delhi Police.

The charges against them stem from a protest organised on 9 February 2016, on the JNU campus, where students allegedly raised anti-India slogans and chanted in support of Kashmir’s secession from India.

The demonstration was held to mark the third death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, who was executed by India in 2013.

Delhi Police Monday filed their 1,200-page chargesheet in the case in a local court.

The chargesheet named as accused former JNU student leader Shehla Rashid and CPI Rajya Sabha member D. Raja’s daughter Aparajita, also a student of the university.

The two are among 36 accused who have not been charged due to lack of evidence.

Delhi Police has also charged seven Kashmiris with sedition — Aquib Hussain, Mujeeb Hussain, Muneeb Hussain, Umar Gul, Rayees Rasool, Bashir Bhat and Bashara.

The inquiry panel set up by JNU had identified Mujeeb Hussain Gattoo as one of the people seen shouting anti-India slogans such as “Hum kya chahte azadi” and “Hum chheen ke lenge azadi”, calls associated with Kashmiri separatists.

The seven, according to the chargesheet, included “outsiders” — students of other universities and working professionals.
