Seven Kashmiri students, accused of raising anti-national slogans at the JNU campus on February 9, 2016, had in their confessional statements told the Delhi police that they did not know the three remaining accused — namely Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya. This was part of the chargesheet filed by the Delhi police on Monday. The police, however, managed to nail their lies via the mobile records and show that they were all in close touch.
The police also claims that the exchanges show the event was being planned for a long time. According to sources, only Muneed and Mujeeb accepted that they knew each other (they are brothers), but others claimed they joined the event after seeing the posters on social media.
Aqueeb told the police that no one had invited him and he didn't know the organisers, even claiming that he had covered his face due to the cold. "The call data record of Aqueeb shows that he had made a call to Umar Khalid, a day before the event. On February 9, the location of the Aqueeb's number shows that he was in JNU," stated the chargesheet. Investigations also revealed that Aqueeb was seen holding an 'Azadi' placard and was present at the event along with Khalid, Anirban, Umair, Rayees and Basharat.
Like Aqueeb, Mujeeb also stated that he was not invited, but even his call data records show that he had called up Khalid on his mobile phone on December 28, 2015 at 14:23 pm." The chargesheet also states that Mujeeb had raised slogans glorifying the stone pelters by saying 'Sangebazo wali Azadi'.
Umair Gul, on the other hand, stated that he went for the event after seeing the posters on Facebook. Gul's mobile was also located in JNU on February 9. Meanwhile, Gul was also in constant touch with Mujeeb and on February 7 he had received a call from Mujeeb at 12:15pm following which he started tarvelling towards JNU.
The chargesheet further states that CFSL experts had certified Umar Khalid had forged the signatures of Ashwathi and Anirban on the permission letter.

The ten accused include JNU alums Kanhaiya Kumar, Syed Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya; along with seven Kashmiri students: Aqueeb Hussain, Basharat Ali, Mujeeb Hussain Gattoo, his brother Muneed Hussain Gattoo, Umair Gul, Rayees Rasool and Khalid Bashir Bhat.
