"We thrashed him for three hours and we also forced him to say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. He raised the slogan following which we allowed him to go," said Chauhan.
One of the lawyers can even be seen claiming that he would not sign a bail bond only to land in jail so that he could beat up Kanhaiya again inside the jail premises. He went on to say that they had full support of police during the scuffle at the court premises.

Singh said, "We thrashed all journalists and JNU professors. If you live in the country, you will have to talk about the country. Police was also supporting us fully and they told us they were in uniform, that's why they (too) were not thrashing him."
Chauhan also says that many attackers on that particular day were brought from outside with the intent of beating up anti-nationals.
