Claiming to have identified the students chanting 'anti-national' slogans at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, the Delhi Police on Wednesday launched inter-state raids to get hold of the culprits.

According to reports, the police claim to have identified all the students seen in the footage of the event against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi reached the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) today to brief the Union Cabinet about the current state of unrest at the JNU.

In a report submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs on its crackdown on a group of protesting JNU students on February 9, the Delhi Police yesterday said that Democratic Students Union (DSU) activists led by Umar Khalid raised anti-national slogans on that day.

However, the report said that Kanhaiya Kumar didn't raise anti-national slogans but was just standing with DSU activists. \Umar Khalid has been absconding since then.
