February 25, 2016 14:42

A Delhi court today refused to allow Delhi Police to collect voice samples of two JNU students -- Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, arrested in

a sedition case.

According to court sources, Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen dismissed the application of Delhi Police, which had arrested both the accused students after they surrendered on the night of February 23, seeking permission to collect their voice samples for investigation in the matter.

Umar and Anirban were last night sent to three days police

remand at the South Campus Police Station near JNU which was

turned into a makeshift court room following an order of the

Delhi High Court to "maintain confidentiality" during their

remand proceedings.
