Umar Khalid and Kanhaiya Kumar have been fined Rs.20,000 and 10,000 on the recommendation of a university panel that investigated their role in a controversial on campus event in support of terrorist Afzal Guru. Umar Khalid has been suspended for a semester by the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for "indiscipline".Anirban Bhattacharya, the third student arrested on the same charge, has been barred from pursuing any course in JNU for the next five years.
The university has accused the students of "arousing communal caste feelings, creating disharmony and colluding in the unauthorized entry of outsiders".On Sunday, the 28-year-old was deplaned from a Mumbai-Pune flight after he alleged that a co-passenger, Manas Deka, tried to strangle him. Mr Kumar alleged that Mr Deka, who works with IT-major TCS, is a BJP supporter and when he complained, the airline took no action but deplaned both of them.
