Tension in JNU as students allege police are walking about in plain clothes
New Delhi, Feb 22: As students allege that police in plain clothes roam around the JNU campus keeping a watch on the students who have returned to the campus, a lot of tension is expected during the day.
The Delhi police had launched a manhunt against some students stating that they were facing sedition charges after allegedly shouting anti-national slogans during an event condemning the hanging of Afzal Guru on February 9th at the JNU.
Delhi police sources tell OneIndia that they will tread carefully and will seek out all help from the administration of the university where these students are concerned. "We have to question them as there is an ongoing investigation," the officer also added.
We will surrender:
The
students
who
returned
to
the
campus,
meanwhile,
have
said
that
they
will
surrender
if
the
police
comes
to
the
campus.
"However,
we
want
the
entire
proceeding
to
be
recorded.
We
hope
that
the
tapes
this
time
are
not
doctored,"
the
vice
president
of
the
JNU
students
union,
Shehla
Rashid
Shora
said
while
adding
that
they
were
glad
that
their
friends
have
come
back.
Meanwhile, today is expected to be a hectic day at the university as the police will look to question the students. The Delhi police have been criticised heavily for entering into the JNU campus and arresting Kanaihya Kumar the JNU student leader. The police say that they will need the help of the administration in this regard. We are in talks with the administration on the issue, the Delhi police say.
