Mysuru: The City Police on Saturday grilled Nalini Balakumar, the woman who held aloft a ‘Free Kashmir’ placard during a recent protest in Manasagangothri on Jan.8 against the violence in New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus recently, for over seven hours.
Nalini, an alumna of University of Mysore’s Department of Studies in Mass Communication and Journalism, appeared at Jayalakshmipuram Police Station along with her father Balakumar after the Police sent her a notice on Friday asking her to appear before them in connection with the sedition case booked against her. The Police posed her a set of about 80 questions and have taken a statement from her as per the set procedure, according to sources. Nalini was also asked whether she was associated with any organisation and who invited her to join the protest. Besides, she was also questioned why her mobile phone was switched off and her social media account deactivated after the incident, the sources added.
