Afzal Guru row: JNU panel submits report, suspension revoked

March 11, 2016 21:18

The JNU revoked the academic suspension of eight students including its students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar in connection with the controversial event at its campus to protest the hanging of Afzal Guru. The suspension was revoked after a high-level committee of the university probing the issue submitted its report to JNU authorities.

"Since the enquiry is over, their suspension has been revoked. The suspended students can now resume their classes and academic activities.

"However, it should not be seen as a clean-chit, the decision about punishment if any or for whom will be taken after the university administration has deliberated upon the recommendations of the committee," said a senior university official.
