No bail for Kanhaiya Kumar till Feb 29
New Delhi, Feb 24 (IBNS): JNU students’ union leader Kanhaiya Kumar’s bail plea will be heard only on Feb 29, said the Delhi High Court adjourning the bail hearing, thus not offering him any immediate reprieve.
The court also gave permission to Delhi Police to seek his custody for investigation.
Earlier last midnight, hours after refused any immunity from arrest by the Delhi High Court, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhttacharya, the two JNU students facing charges of sedition, surrendered before the Delhi Police.
Not giving any protection from arrest, the two students of New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) were directed by the Delhi High Court to surrender earlier.
Three other students are also likely to surrender.
JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was recently arrested on sedition charges after anti-India slogans were raised inside the JNU campus at an event to observe the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.
