New Delhi, Feb 24 (IBNS) Interrogation of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, Anirban Bhattacharya and Umar Khalid, who surrendered to police on Tuesday late night, has, apparently, brought to light more details on the controversial event that took place at the university campus on Feb 9, according to TV reports.
Earlier, the Delhi High Court had rejected the students’ plea that they be allowed to surrender at a secret location.
 
The duo were taken to a police station near the campus and questioned before being arrested. 
 
CNN IBN, quoting sources, reported that Khalid conceived the idea of the event while Bhattacharya prepared the material, including posters, and distributed them among the students. 
 
During the questioning, the names of two more students cropped up – Riyaz and Banjyotsana Lahiri.
 
Reportedly, it was Riyaz who arranged the sound system and was asked to upload pictures on social media.
 
It has been alleged that Lahiri was one of the co-organisers.
 
According to media reports, the police confronted Khalid and Bhattacharya with 28 inflammatory slogans but the duo claimed that outsiders may have shouted ‘anti-India’slogans  and not JNU students.
 
IBNLive, quoting sources, said that Khalid also told the police that he had quit the Democratic Students Union(DSU) on ideological reasons but the Afzal Guru hanging controversy was an issue close to his heart.
