The FIR was lodged under section 124 A (Sedition) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).
Delhi Police on Thursday charged unknown persons with sedition in connection with the alleged anti-India sloganeering that took place during an event at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). The incident took place on the night of February 9 on the death anniversary of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru who was hanged in 2013.
The FIR was lodged under section 124 A (Sedition) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention). The FIR was lodged on the complaint of BJP member of Parliament Mahesh Giri who approached the local police at Vasant Kunj area of South Delhi late on Thursday evening.
" We have registered an FIR and take action accordingly. Investigators have also collected video evidence of the whole incident and are trying to identify who all were present at the time of the incident when the alleged remarks were made," said a senior police officer.
ABVP members had also filed a complaint with local police accusing of the same Left wing student body of allegedly harassing them, prompting police to retrieve mobile phone recordings of a confrontation between student groups based in JNU.
On Tuesday night a confrontation between students belonging to ABVP and Democratic Students Union took place within the campus. The confrontation happened after members of the ABVP protested outside the venue of a event organised against the 'judicial killing of Afzal Guru & Maqbool Bhat'.The organisers said that the event was 'in solidarity with struggle of Kashmiri people for their democratic right to self determination'.
The JNU students union today 'disowned' the controversy over an event on JNU campus against the hanging of Parliament attack convict, saying it is an attempt by ABVP to curb the "democratic traditions" of the university.
