Umar Khalid has been identified as the man behind the incident at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus.
Earlier, the Delhi Police submitted a four-page report on its alleged crackdown on a group of protesting JNU students on February 9 to the Ministry of Home Affairs, and claimed that Democratic Students Union (DSU) activists led by Umar Khalid raised anti-national slogans after they were denied to broadcast a pro-Afzal Guru documentary.
During the protest, DSU activists, led by Umar Khalid, began shouting anti-India slogans and singing songs eulogising Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt.
However, the report said that Kanhaiya Kumar didn`t raise anti-national slogans but was just standing with DSU activists and Umar Khalid, who has been absconding since then.
