Rusticate Kanhaiya; JNU panel recommends

A high-level committee of JNU has recommended rustication of Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and two other students for their alleged role in a controversial event inside varsity's campus on 9th February. Anti-national slogans were allegedly raised at the event. Quoting sources, PTI reports that a decision on the recommendations by the panel will be taken by the Vice Chancellor and Chief Proctor of JNU after a thorough scrutiny of the



suggestions.

A meeting of the university's top brass chaired by the Vice Chancellor yesterday discussed the report. Following this, the varsity issued show-cause notices to 21 students including Kanhaiya and Umar, who were found guilty of having violated its discipline norms.
