JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was reportedly slapped and pushed around when he was brought to the Patiala House Court on Wednesday.

A team of Delhipolice struggled to shield him from an angry mob.

Media reports said unidentified persons broke through police cordon and beat up Kanhaiya Kumar.

Delhi Police Commissioner Bassi conceded that there was some jostling and said his team did its best to guard him. Instead of the norm of one or two cops escorting under-trials, an entire team was with Kanhaiya Kumar, he pointed out.

He also said the crowd was excited and as the lawyers were officers of the court he could not use heavy force.
