JNU authorities have sent the Delhi Police the report of a five-member panel on the controversial February 9 event during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.


The report was sought from the Chief Proctor's Office by Delhi Police's anti-terrorism unit, Special Cell, which is probing the sedition case registered in connection with the event on the campus against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.


"The special cell had contacted us for a copy of the report and we have sent the same," a senior university official said.


JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya were arrested in connection with the sedition case in February, triggering widespread protests. They are now out on bail.


On basis of the recommendations of the probe panel, JNU had earlier this week announced punishments against several students in connection with the event.


While Kanhaiya has been slapped with a penalty of Rs 10,000 on grounds of "indiscipline and misconduct", Umar, Anirban and Kashmiri student Mujeeb Gatoo have been rusticated for varying durations. Financial penalty has been imposed on 14 students. Hostel facilities of two students have been withdrawn and the university has declared the campus out of bounds for two former students.
