"Police are looking into all aspects of the case. If any person is found having any financial link with any terrorist outfit, he/she will also be charged under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act," he said on the sidelines of the 69th Raising Day Parade of Delhi Police.
Bassi, however, refused to elaborate when asked whether investigators have so far found links between any terror outfit and the students who have been identified as accused in the case.
He said the evidence in the matter so far supports the registration of a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy against Kumar, who was arrested on February 12.
Bassi said police have no problems with JNU authorities as they are cooperating with the probe.
Asked about the alert in which Delhi Police had posted a tweet by an account named 'HafeezSaeedJUD', which was later taken down, Bassi maintained that the alert was issued for the content of the tweet which was seditious and could have made people engage in activities which come under the domain of IPC Section 124 A (sedition).
