JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar,arrested in a sedition case, has claimed he is a victim of conspiracy and falsely implicated by "fabricating" evidence.        The jailed students leader, who has moved the Delhi high court for bail, alleged that a doctored video, which seeks to superimpose utterances that may have been made elsewhere by others, was being circulated to falsely implicate him in the case.

His petition contended that the charge of sedition has not been made against him merely for raising slogans against the government as that action was not accompanied by violence or incitement.

"It is alleged that the petitioner (Kanhaiya) raised slogans on the evening February 9 at JNU. However, the petitioner strenuously denies that he raised any slogan that would fall within the mischief of section 124 A (sedition) of the IPC...

"The petitioner, however, submits that he is a victim of conspiracy where certain vested elements are seeking to fabricate evidence against him and circulate a doctored video which seeks to superimpose utterances that may have been made elsewhere by others, on him," the bail plea, filed by Kanhaiy asaid.
