 "Kanhaiya taken to undisclosed destination")
A team of Delhi Police took Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) President Kanhaiya Kumar, arrested in connection with a case of sedition, to an undisclosed location after he was sent to police custody for a day, from Tihar jail.
“The student leader was moved out of Tihar jail at around 8.30 pm for questioning,” a senior police officer said without disclosing the location where Kanhaiya was taken by the cops.
The police had applied for the production of a warrant for Kumar on Wednesday, on the ground that it was necessary to confront him, along with the other two Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, in view of the discripencies in their statements regarding the controversial JNU event.
Kumar was arrested on February 12, a day after a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy was registered at Vasant Kunj (North) Police Station in connection with an event in the varsity's campus in which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
