Five Kashmiri students who allegedly raised anti-India slogans during an event held at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on February 9 have been asked by Delhi Police Special Cell to join the investigation in the case, The Indian Express reported on Friday.
Two of the students are from JNU, two from Jamia Millia Islamia and one from Aligarh Muslim University, the report quoting sources said.
Incidentally, a high-level enquiry committee set up by JNU to look into the February 9 event, had said in its report that 10-15 “outsiders” who had their faces covered with a “cloth/scarf” raised the slogans. The panel said the presence of these “outsiders” was verified by security staff as well as eyewitnesses.
Police have identified three more Kashmiri students who allegedly raised anti-national slogans at the event held to mark the third anniversary of the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, said the sources.
Sources said the decision to ask the five Kashmiri students to join the investigation was taken after police received the final forensic examination report of a raw video footage of the event. The Central Forensic Science Laboratory, CBI, found it to be “authentic”.
