Hyderabad, Mar 23 (IBNS) Kanhaiya Kumar, the JNU student leader who was arrested on sedition charges, reached Hyderabad on Wednesday to visit the university while a was already put on his entry, reports said.

Rohith Vemula, a  Dalit student of Hyderabad Central University killed himself in January this year entailing protests and agitation that impacted the national politics.

Kanhaiya Kumar declared his plans to visit the university and make a speech on Wednesday.

Altogether 25 students have been arrested  for damaging public property, illegally confining staff and attacking the police during violent protests on Tuesday. They include key leaders of the protests.

The university has sought police protection and said in a statement that it will from today close down all gates except the main entrance to the university and will not allow "media personnel, political groups, external students, organisations and politicians into the campus."

Tuesday's protests were directed at Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile, who returned to work on Tuesday ending the prolonged leave he went on following Rohith Vemula's death and furious protests.

Demanding that he be removed, students kept him hostage by surrounding his office-cum-residence for six hours. They vandalised his office and also attacked the media and threw stones at the police.

Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union president Kanhaiya Kumar has said he will visit the Hyderabad university campus on Wednesday evening to meet the protesting students.
