Around 50 college student leaders of various groups against whom sections 107 and 116 of CrPC were invoked in July this year and who failed to submit bonds in the court of city magistrate, will be arrested soon, said Karanpur police post in-charge Baldev Singh on Tuesday.
The city magistrate had booked 75 student leaders of various outfits, including ABVP, NSUI, Aryan Group, and Pattu Group under sections 107 and 116 of CrPC in July. Some of the student leaders — Vinit Prasad Bhatt, Alok Negi, Mohan Bhandari —were NSUI members, while ABVP members booked included Anshul Chawla, Shankar Rawat, Paras Gupta, Narendra Sharma, Devendra Singh Bisht, Rakesh Negi and Sidharth Rana. Aryan Group members — Jitendra Rawat, Satish Mohan Pant and Mahendra Singh Mahi; Pattu Group members -- Divyanshu Pratap, Jitendra alias Rinku, Satyam Group members- Anil Rawat, Ankit Joshi, Jitendra, Prag Bhattt; Diwakar Group member Diwakar Dubey and some others were booked too.
These student leaders were asked to submit bonds before the magistrate, stating they would not indulge in any such act which creates law and order problem in the future. But very few of them had submitted the bonds before the magistrate, sub-inspector Singh said.
He further said three cases of scuffles among student groups have been reported in the past couple of days and to conduct the students’ union election peacefully, additional force have been deployed in the DAV (PG) college campus. Moreover, if court issues non-bailable warrants against these leaders, police will arrest them without delay, he said.
