JNU row: Sting shows lawyers' plan to thrash Kanhaiya Kumar in jail

In a sting operation conducted by a news channel on two of the three lawyers wanted for alleged assault on journalists, students and teachers of JNU at a court here last week, the perpetrators purportedly claimed that they planned to thrash JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar in prison too.

In the video broadcast on the English news channel this evening, the lawyers can be seen claiming that they also thrashed Kanhaiya for around three hours while he was in police custody and said he wet his pants during the beating.

12-year-old Sikh boy arrested in US after classmate accuses him of carrying a bomb

Armaan Singh Sarai, a 12-year-old boy from an American-Sikh family, was arrested by the Dallas police on December 11 and held for three consecutive days after he was accused by a “bully” in his class of carrying a bomb to school, claims his cousin in a Facebook post.  

Ginee Haer, who claims to be Armaan’s cousin, took to Facebook to describe the boy’s ordeal. Describing Armaan as a “goofball”, Haer tells us how her cousin was born and raised in Texas and recently moved to Dallas with his family. 

The post goes on to describe Armaan’s congenital heart condition, which has led him to having three open heart surgeries. This she said  had already made settling in a new location difficult. 

According to Haer, Armaan was arrested by the police on December 11 on the basis of an accusation by one of his school-mates. Haer writes: “A bully in class thought it would be funny to accuse him of having a bomb, and so the principal, without any questioning, interrogation, or notification to his parents, called the police.”

Haer goes on to describe how Armaan’s family contacted every police department in the area in a bid to locate him, only to find out that he had been sent to a juvenile facility.
