Delhi police commissioner refutes reports that JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar was roughed up while being escorted inside the court premises.


Bassi says that Kumar was escorted by the requisite number of policemen, he was taken care of by the police.


"We had to wade through the crowd, there was lot of jostling. Police officers were also heckled in court. I don't think you can call that situation has gone out of hand, I don't think he (Kanhaiya Kumar) was beaten up," Bassi said. "My information is that there was jostling when he was brought to court, he was escorted by police officers and was taken care of."

He added that lawyer Vikram Singh Chauhan, who led the protests in the Patiala House court premises has also been summoned by the police. Summons have also been issued to two other lawyers. "I will be sending a report to the home ministry," he said.


A medical team now arrives in Patiala House. A doctor and two paramedics too see Kanhaiya Kumar before he is taken to Tihar jail. Bassi said the police will not oppose Kanhaiya's bail.
