Jawaharlal Nehru University students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, who surrendered before the police late Tuesday night after the Delhi high court refused to grant them protection from arrest in a sedition case, were questioned for at least five hours.
The students left the University campus and entered a JNU security van in which the cops were waiting for them.
The two have been placed under police custody at South Campus police station and are likely to be produced before a magistrate on Wednesday.
According to sources, a medical checkup was conducted on both the students in the police station.
The duo returned to the JNU campus last Sunday after remaining underground since February 12.
Khalid and Bhattacharya are among the five students who, along with JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, had allegedly shouted anti-national slogans at an event organized in the university campus on February 9.
Besides Kumar, Khalid and Bhattacharya, the other students are Rama Naga, Ashutosh Kumar and Anant Prakash.
