In a major turn of events, the Delhi police is said to have no evidence against former DU professor S.A.R. Geelani, who was recently arrested on sedition charges for allegedly organising and participating in an event where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised in the Press Club of India here.

A highly-placed source said that so far the police only has one video clip of the PCI event in which there was nothing to indicate that Mr Geelani had raised any slogans. Since the police is left with no direct evidence against Mr Geelani, the investigators are reportedly in the process of making some club employees and a few others as their witnesses in the sedition case. The source also said that pressure was mounting on the police to collect evidence against Mr Geelani.
