The police plea was opposed by complainant Garg, arguing that it had been delaying the matter and hesitating to file a proper action taken report. It was also alleged that the police was not willing to enquire into the incidents.
According to the police status report, the Commissioner of Delhi Police has set up a probe panel which has been going into complaints relating to the incidents that occurred on February 21-22 this year.
As many as 62 witnesses have examined so far, including students and police officials.
The complaint being heard by the court related to the lodging of an FIR with regard to the February incidents when anti-national slogans were allegedly raised at Ramjas College by AISA and SFI members.
The plea had said a similar incident occurred in JNU last year. It alleged that “massive anti-national slogans/ activities were being carried out by leaders/students of AISA/SFI in Ramjas College, shamelessly and openly which supported India's enemy i.e. Pakistan.
The criminal acts of accused were also boosting morale of terrorists against our country.
