Earlier in the day, a Delhi Government-appointed magisterial probe did not find any evidence of Kanhaiya raising anti-India slogans at a controversial event in the university, allegations based on which he was slapped with sedition charges by police. According to the probe report, anti-national slogans were shouted at the campus and JNU administration has already identified “few faces” who were “clearly” heard raising them.
