Delhi Police has mentioned 36 others in the chargesheet as well, but without naming them as accused due to lack of evidence. AdvertisingKanhaiya had been granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court in the matter in March 2016, almost three weeks after being arrested on charges of sedition. A Delhi court Saturday rapped the Delhi Police and refused to take cognizance of the sedition case filed against former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union president Kanhaiya Kumar and others, citing the absence of approval from the competent authority to file the chargesheet in such a serious case..
