NEW DELHI: JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar sustained external injuries during the attack on him at the Patiala House court complex, his medical examination report showed even as Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi refuted the allegations.
The medical report noted that there were multiple abrasions on his left foot and nose, apart from tenderness in his left toe, a police source said today.
Reacting to this development, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said, “My officers have told me that the allegations (of attack on Kanhaiya) are incorrect. It won’t be appropriate to comment further on the matter as is it pending before the Supreme Court.”
The student leader was produced in the court on Wednesday after the end of his police custody, where a group of men dressed in lawyers’ robes unleashed a brazen attack on him and others, which included journalists, who were present there.
Following the incident, the Delhi Police Commissioner was severely criticized for alleged inaction with regard to the violence that broke out at the Patiala House court, not once but twice.
Bassi had said that Kanhaiya Kumar was “well-protected” and he was “not beaten up”. He, however, initiated inquiry into reports of stone pelting on him.
On Wednesday night, police registered two fresh cases in connection with the violence at the court complex, of which one pertained to the attack on the student leader, who has been arrested on charge of sedition over a controversial event at JNU campus where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised.–PTI
