JNU row: Protests spread to several states
Agitation against the arrest of JNU Students' Union leader Kanhaiya Kumar on sedition charges spread to more parts of the country on Thursday, with protests in Patna, Chennai and Vadodara. ABVP members staged counter-protests in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Kolkata, demanding action against 'anti-national' elements in JNU. In Patna, the police had to use mild force to defuse a clash.
