Guwahati: Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta, on Thursday, said that JNU student Sharjeel Imam will be brought to Assam after taking a production warrant.
“We will bring him after taking a production warrant, our officer is also a part of the team that is interrogating him,” said Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta while talking to ANI here. A Delhi court on Wednesday sent Imam to five-day custody under Delhi Police Crime Branch. Imam was brought to Delhi on transit remand after his arrest from Bihar’s Jehanabad on Tuesday.
The JNU student, who was booked for sedition for his provocative speeches had stoked controversy with his “cut off Assam from India” remark.
He has been slapped with charges of sedition and inciting enmity between communities under Sections 124A, 153A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Separately, a case has been registered against the JNU student by the Uttar Pradesh Police for his controversial speech delivered during the students’ protest at Aligarh Muslim University on January 16 against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
A series of videos have gone viral on social media in which Sharjeel is seen giving his speech. (ANI)
