The inquiry committee constituted to investigate incidents occurred on the night of February 9 on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus has recommended to rusticate JNU student's union president Kanhaiya Kumar and four others.

On Feb 9, an event to protest the execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru was held where allegedly pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans were raised.

JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and a few others were arrested after the incident on charges of sedition. Kanhaiya was later released on bail, however, others -- including Omar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya -- are still in jail.

The panel is believed to have recommended expulsion of Kanhaiya, Khalid and Anirban from the University.

It should be mentioned, however, that two out of seven video tapes of the JNU event were found to be 'doctored' by the forensic lab.

Meanwhile, JNU professor Amita Singh -- who allegedly called Muslim and Dalit teachers anti-national -- has also been issued a notice by the university.
