NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University JNU students union leader Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested by Police on sedition and criminal charges.
Police arrested Kanhaiya Kumar for holding an anti-national event inside university premises and was remanded for three days by Delhi court.

University teachers and students condemned the arrest and protested outside the Vice Chancellor’s office.
Kanhaiya claimed that he is innocent and being framed by police in a politically motivated case.
