The rest of the 16 students have passed out from JNU.
After it was revealed that the video on the basis of which Delhi police arrested student leader Kanhaiya Kumar for sedition might have been doctored, cops probing the alleged anti-national activities on the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus might find themselves in yet another embarrassing situation.
dna has learnt that of the 19 students accused of carrying anti-national activities on JNU campus, only three are currently pursuing education there. The list prepared by the intelligence unit of Delhi police and submitted to the ministry of home affairs last week had named 19 students as reactive and volatile.
An inspection of the list revealed that 16 persons named in it have passed out from JNU years ago. Also, some of them are currently pursing their career in foreign countries.
The list also includes names of ex-JNU students who are now teaching in various universities across India, including the Delhi University and the JNU itself.
Interestingly, Umer Khalid, Anirban Bhatacharya and Reyaz, against whom police have issued a lookout circular, do not figure in this list. Their names, however, do figure in the list on organisers of an alleged anti-national event that took place on February 9.
The list was part of a report sent to the MHA after JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested under sedition charges.
dna had earlier reported that the same report had failed to mention Kanhaiya among those who raised anti-national slogans or organised the Afzal Guru event on the campus.
The report names 19 people belonging to the Democratic Students Union and Democratic Students Front and quotes 'reliable sources' to identify the individuals. The same reliable sources were attributed to have given inputs regarding anti-national activities in the campus.
The four-page report accessed by dna revealed that Delhi police had posted a plain clothed officer to monitor activities of teachers and students in the campus since last year.
The report reveals that it was an officer of special branch (Intelligence Unit) of Delhi Police at the university who saw the poster of the alleged anti-national event and alerted the authorities.
The report narrates the day to day activities of the campus and quotes the intelligence officer saying that the while most left supported student groups in the campus are mild and non-reactive, two 'hidden student groups', identified as DSU and DSF, were 'volatile' and 'reactive'.
The report reads, "It been has found that the group mourned Afzal Guru's death and celebrated the killing of Central Reserve Police Force personnel in anti-Naxal operations and worshiped 'Mahishasur in place of Goddess Durga' in September 2014.
Even though the list does not include Umar Khalid as volatile or reactive, it goes on to read that Democratic Students Union (DSU) activists led by Khalid had gathered at the Sabarmati dhaba to screen a film on Afzal Guru but as Delhi police had got the permission to cancel the event the DSU members were offended.
According to the report, the gathered students belonging to DSU allegedly raised anti-national slogans after they were denied to broadcast the documentary but does not identify the individuals.
ABVP students had also some idea about the cancellation and they also started to mobilise around the proposed programme venue, the report reads.
Students of JNU, who spoke to dna on Sunday, claimed that after finding no evidence against Kanhaiya, police are making Umar Khalid a target. Sources told dna that a team of Delhi police is currently going through video footage recorded on the February 9 to pin down Umar and others in the case even though the original FIR was registered based on a video that surfaced on February 10.
