From Sabarmati Dhaba to Patiala House to Supreme Court, the JNU protests and subsequent police crackdown have grabbed public attention. The JNU saga has seen many personalities play important roles. From JNU Student Union (JNUSU) President Kanhaiya Kumar, whose arrest has caused an entire university to take to the streets in protest, to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA O P Sharma, whose violent brand of 'patriotism' caused the nation's most celebrated journalists to come out in protest, here is a look at the prime players in the JNU saga.
