Delhi Police on Saturday filed a chargesheet against JNU student Sharjeel Imam in connection with a case related to his alleged seditious speech during the anti-citizenship amendment act protests. The chargesheet, filed in Delhi`s Patiala House court today, said that Imam openly defied the Constitution of India and called it a "fascist" document. Imam had backed his statements by insisting that Muslims in Assam are already being put in detention centres owing to the NRC already having been applied there. In the name of opposing the CAA, he also openly propagated blocking the `chicken neck` connecting the mainland-India with the northeast," it added. Earlier, a Delhi court granted an extension of 90 days to the Delhi Police to conclude the investigation and file a chargesheet in the case.
