"I am not looking for those who sympathise with me. I am only looking for those who will assure me that they will bring my son back. That is what I tell representatives of various parties who visit our house. I will cast my vote only for the party which assures me that," Fatima Nafees, mother of missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmad said.
On Monday evening, the students allegedly barged inside Kumar's residence while he was away and surrounded his wife. Police were called in and the wives of other university professors rescued her, a professor said. Kumar's wife was rushed to a hospital as she was in a state of trauma.
The event had taken place despite the university administration cancelling the permission following a complaint from Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, which had termed it "anti-national".
The AAP government and the Delhi Police engaged in a blame game on Saturday after a court questioned the department for filing a chargesheet in the sedition case against former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and others without procuring the required sanction from authorities.
"You don't have approval from legal department, why did you file chargesheet without approval from Delhi government? The court cannot recognise the chargesheet untill you have due approval," the court said.
The evidence listed by the agency include report of JNU's high-level committee, statement of varsity's Registrar Bhupinder Jutshi and the mobile phone recordings in which Kumar was seen arguing with him over cancellation of the programme.
Police also charged former JNU students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya for allegedly shouting anti-India slogans during the event.
According to the police, Praveen Tiwari was a resident of JNU's Brahmaputra Hostel and had recently joined as research assistant at Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR).

The agency had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for anyone giving information about Najeeb and had informed police chiefs of all state police in the country.
The Delhi High Court Monday allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a closure report in the case related to missing JNU student Najeeb Ahmed.
Taking a dig at the government, JNU Students' Union president N Sai Balaji said the BJP-led dispensation believes in jumlas (rhetoric) and 'hamla' (attack).
Sitharaman’s comments came days after candidates backed by Left groups won all four key posts in the JNU Students Union elections.

As per the latest data released by the election committee, after counting 3,281 out of 5185 votes, N Sai Balaji, presidential candidate of the Left is leading with 1,350 votes.
The counting of votes in the JNU student union polls was suspended for nearly 14 hours on Saturday by election authorities citing 'forcible entry' and 'attempts to snatch away ballot boxes' at the counting venue.
The Left outfits alleged that ABVP activists were involved in the violence but the saffron outfit denied it.
In its statement, the JNU Election Committee said it suspended the counting temporarily but refused to name the party which protested.
