JNU case: Forensic lab authenticates sedition video of Kanhaiya Kumar and others accused
New Delhi, Jan 25 (IBNS): The Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) has certified four pieces of video which shown former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and 46 others allegedly raising anti-India slogans, media reports said.
The four video clips are among 13 video clips which were cited by Delhi police in chargesheet filed on Jan 14.
However on Jan 19, a Delhi court criticised the police for filing a chargesheet against Kumar without acquiring the requisite approval from the Delhi government.
"You don't have approval from the legal department, why did you file chargesheet without approval?" NDTV quoted the court as telling the police.
When the police promised to get the state government's approval in 10 days, the court granted then time till February 6.
The 1,200-page chargesheet is against Kumar for his alleged anti-national activities at the university in February 2016. Apart from Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and seven students from Jammu and Kashmi have been named in the chargesheet.
"When the magisterial inquiry was done, it was concluded that no JNU student was involved. I want to say, the police has filed a chargesheet after three years. We thank them," Kanhaiya Kumar told NDTV.
