JNU row: Kanhaiya gets interim bail for six months

New Delhi, Mar 2 (IBNS): Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar, who is in jail after his arrest on sedition charges, was granted an interim bail of six months on Wednesday.

Kumar was granted bail on a surety of Rs 10,000.

While a section of students in JNU celebrated his bail, his parents said they are relieved to hear the news.

Several JNU students were arrested for allegedly glorifying Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and being part of an event where anti-India slogans were raised, triggering a nationwide debate that sharply divided the people.

JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested first on sedition charges after anti-India slogans were raised inside the JNU campus at the event.
 
Later other students, including Umar Khalid, surrendered to police.

Kanhaiya was also beaten up inside court premises earlier.

He claimed that he was beaten and almost disrobed in the presence of police personnel in Patiala House Court premises which looked like a mute spectator on Feb 17, according to a new video that surfaced capturing his account of the incident before lawyers.

The alleged incident happened when a group of lawyers beat Kanhaiya, students, teachers and mediapersons in the court premises on Feb 17.
