Don't let Umar face what Kanhaiya did at court, counsel tells Delhi Police

February 24, 2016 09:17

Following the dramatic surrender last night by Jawaharlal Nehru University students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, who are facing sedition charges, the former's counsel has called on the Delhi Police to ensure his safety to avoid any untoward incidents.

"It is the Magistrate and the police's duty to ensure Umar's security so that what happened with Kanhaiya, does not happen with him," Khalid's counsel Kamini Jaiswal told ANI.

She added that before he was interrogated, the police must at least verify the authenticity of the video clips in which Khalid is allegedly seen raising anti-national slogans.

According to sources, a medical check was conducted on both the students in the police station and they were questioned for around five hours.
