Arshad Yusuf, Inayat Altaf and Shaukat Ahmed, Kashmiri students studying in RBS Engineering College, Agra, have been arrested by the police on charges of sedition.
Families of Kashmiri students, who are facing a case of sedition for celebrating Pakistan’s victory in T20 World Cup, have reached Agra. He says that the children have made a mistake but this mistake is not so big that they cannot be forgiven. They are not anti-nationals at all.
Riyaz, uncle of accused student Inayat, says that I have come here for two days. Met the lawyers here but they are not fighting the case. However, with their help, we have got the number of a lawyer of Mathura Court. We have contacted them. On Monday they will file the bail application. Riyaz says that the relatives of two other students are also reaching Agra by evening.
When these students were produced in the court two days ago, the lawyers tried to beat them up in the court premises. He has also refused to fight the case of these students.
