Cops say Kanhaiya shouted anti-India slogans; chargesheet timing questioned

Kanhaiya Kumar questioned the timing of the police filing a chargesheet against him and others in the sedition case, attributing Modi government's 'political motive' to the action

Delhi Police has claimed before a court in New Delhi that former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student union leader Kanhaiya Kumar had raised anti-India slogans in 2016 "to incite hatred and disaffection towards the government".  

Police cited statements of various witnesses in its charge sheet to state that Kumar was walking along with the protesters where a number of unidentified persons were raising slogans during an event in the university's campus on February 9, 2016, to commemorate the hanging of Parliament-attack mastermind Afzal Guru.

The court will consider the charge sheet on January 19. The matter was listed for Tuesday but
