Umar Khalid, 4 other missing students resurface on JNU campus: Reports

Umar Khalid and 4 other missing students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) reportedly resurfaced on the campus late on Sunday night.

According to reports, upon his return Khalid addressed the crowd and gave a speech. "I have no summons against me," he said.

According to NDTV, he also said that the comments posted against his sister on social media has angered him.

"Disturbed by the way I have been attacked. Angered at comments posted against my sister on social media," Khalid reportedly said

After receiving information that four of the six students missing were spotted on JNU campus on Sunday evening, Delhi Police had started searching for them.

"We have received some information about their reported presence on campus. A police team was rushed to the varsity after we received information that they were spotted," police sources said.

Police had last week named five students, including Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and Ashutosh, alleging they were part of an event against hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.

Earlier on Sunday, at least four Delhi based journalists including Sadiq Naqvi and a student of a central university in Delhi, were questioned about the whereabouts of Umar Khalid and a few other JNU students who the police are looking out for.

Earlier, Khalid's family had said that Umar will surrender if there is a 'conducive atmosphere'.

JNU Students Union president Kanhaiya Kumar was arrested on sedition charges on February 12, triggering widespread outrage among students, academicians and non-BJP political parties.
