All three were granted regular bail by a Delhi court in August last year, after the Delhi Police told the court that the students did not misuse their interim bail conditions and cooperated with the ongoing probe.
One year after they were booked for sedition for raising anti-national slogans at an event to mark the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, the JNU students are yet to be chargesheeted.
Senior Delhi Police officers said the statements of all 30 people who were seen in the event's video, which went viral, have been recorded. "We are looking into the case and a chargesheet is yet to be filed," an officer said. After they finished the questioning of several people involved in the event, the police investigation in the case has not progressed much over the last few months.
The then Students' Union President Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, and Anirban Bhattacharya were arrested on sedition charges after allegations of "anti-national" sloganeering surfaced against them in February last year.
"We haven't been called by the police in the last eight months. I am also a prime witness in a case wherein journalists were thrashed, but nothing has happened in that regard as well," Kanhaiya said.

The varsity students had organised an event on the third death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, titled 'A country without a post office — against the judicial killing of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt'.
The organisers had pasted posters across the campus, inviting students to gather for a protest march against the "judicial killing of Guru and Bhat", and in solidarity with the "struggle" of Kashmiri migrants, at the Sabarmati dhaba in the campus.
This sparked a row with the members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), who then staged a protest to demand expulsion of the event organisers.
After the video of the event went viral on social media, a case of sedition against several students was lodged at the Vasant Kunj (north) police station under IPC Sections 124A (sedition), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (acts done by several persons with a common intention).
