The JNU Students Union has alleged that varsity Registrar Bhupinder Zutshi made a "false" statement before a probe panel that JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and other student leaders had a meeting with him (Zutshi) on the day of controversial Afzal Guru event.

Zutshi had claimed, deposing before the high-power enquiry committee constituted by Vice-Chancellor M Jagadesh Kumar, that Kanhaiya Kumar was against the authorities' decision to cancel permission of the February 9 event during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.

The university issued a press statement on Monday saying the, "Registrar had a meeting with three JNUSU representatives -- Kanhaiya Kumar, Rama Naga and Saurabh Sharma (ABVP) -- on February 9 for discussion on route for the newly-acquired bus for physically challenged students of JNU".

Zutshi has made the same statement before the probe panel inquiring into an event on campus against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.

The students union, however, claimed that Zutshi's statement was "false and no such meeting took place."
