Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi said the sedition case in connection with the controversial JNU event has been transferred to the force’s counter-terrorism unit Special Cell. “I have directed my officers to transfer the case to the Special Cell as the matter needs focused investigation. In a case registered under Section 124 A (Sedition), the Special Cell shall do justice,” Bassi told reporters.
The process of transfer will take around two days, said the top cop, adding the local district police would not be able to put the focus which the case demands as they have to deal with numerous routine law and order affairs.
A few days after registering the case in connection with the February 9 event in JNU campus, DCP (South) Prem Nath had written to the Commissioner, requesting him to transfer the case to Special Cell. Bassi had refused to do so then saying the concerned police district has enough capacity to deal with the matter.
