Delhi Police has conducted a numbers of raids in Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in search for 10 persons in connection with the case of alleged sedition for which JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested.

"Teams have raided several places in Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in the past two days. They are looking for 10 specific persons, of whom some are JNU students and the others are believed to be outsiders," a police source said today.

Earlier today, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said "people in huge numbers participated in it (the event), and we have already identified the ring leader. Now we are looking for all those who have been identified. Very soon, we will get hold of them."

The names of the ten persons, excluding Kumar, had emerged on the day the police had registered a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy in connection with an event held in JNU campus, the source said.
