My Life is Under Threat: Kanhaiya Kumar to NHRC

The president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) Kanhaiya Kumar has written a four-page letter to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The letter carries serious charges against the police that is required, under law, to follow due process. He has stated that the Delhi Police arrested him on February 12, 2016 from his hostel at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) without any warrant or a notice. In the letter, Kanhaiya also claims to have been under extreme mental pressure under detention even though he was not physically manhandled by the police.

Kanhaiya had been beaten brutally by men in black coats claiming to be lawyers on February 17, 2016 and had detailed his ordeal before the Court Commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court of India.
