#Kanhaiya Kumar # JNU student leader
Hyerabad, Mar 23 (IBNS) Kanhaiya Kumar, the JNU student leader who was arrested on sedition charges, will not be arrested in Hyderabad where he reached on Wednesday, media reports quoted police as saying.
Kumar plans to visit the university where Dalit student Rohith Vemula killed himself in January this year.
 
Ahead of his visit the  Central University is tense while the authorities have put a ban on Kanhaiya's entry.
 
 Officials have said no outsider will be allowed to enter the campus.

After violence on campus on Tuesday,  25 students have been arrested. Property was damaged and some professors complained that they were injured in clashes.   

The arrested students allegedly vandalized the office of Vice Chancellor Appa Rao who returned to work yesterday after a long absence that began amid the furious protests that followed Mr Vemula's suicide.

A section of students say that the Vice Chancellor should be fired because he did not intervene when Mr Vemula complained of caste discrimination a month before he hung himself in his hostel.
 
The university has sought police protection and closed all entrances except the main gate and declared the campus off limits to  "media personnel, political groups, external students, organisations and politicians."

All classes at the university have been suspended till Monday next.
 
After being released from jail earlier this month, Kanhaiya  Kumar described  Vemula as his "icon".
 
In his suicide note, Rohith Vemula did not blame anybody. But a month before that, he wrote a despairing letter to the Vice Chancellor complaining of discrimination against Dalit students like himself.
