"We have enough evidence, documents and material against the accused and the whole lot to proceed against them under the charges of sedition," Special Public Prosecutor Shailendra Babbar told the media here.

Meanwhile, JNU students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, who have been booked on charges of sedition, surrendered before Delhi Police late last night.

The students left the University campus and entered a JNU security van in which the cops were waiting for them.

The two have been placed under police custody at South Campus police station and are likely to be produced before a magistrate today.
