The report on Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president, submitted by Delhi Police in court, has claimed that Kanhaiya Kumar was present at site where anti-India slogans were raised.
According to the Delhi Police report, accessed by CNN-IBN, the police has backed its claims on the basis of television footage.
The report has also claimed that eyewitnesses corroborated that Kanhaiya was present when some students allegedly raised anti-India slogans.
The Delhi High Court is on Tuesday set to hear the bail plea of the JNUSU president in connection with the sedition case. He was arrested for allegedly raising anti-India slogans during a controversial event held at JNU.
Kanhaiya Kumar had earlier approached the Supreme Court for bail but was asked by the apex court to go to the High Court. The SC had maintained that if they take up the matter, it will give a wrong message that no other court other than the apex court is capable of hearing the case.
As Kanhaiya's lawyers, Soli Sorabjee and Raju Ramachandran, pleaded that there is a threat to his life in Patiala House Court, the SC observed that if he does not feel safe going to Patiala House Court, in this "extraordinary situation", they can approach the Delhi High Court.
Meanwhile, there were reports of the Delhi Police "verifying" video clips which it used in the probe into the sedition case registered over the controversial JNU event. Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi on Monday met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung and briefed him over the JNU row.
Delhi Police commissioner BS Bassi had said that if the students were innocent, they should produce evidence.
