Bombay High Court Grants Interim Protection to Former TISS Student in Saibaba Event Case
A former Tata Institute of Social Sciences student, Kamakhya Prasad Das, has sought anticipatory bail from the Bombay High Court in a case alleging he raised slogans supporting jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam at an unauthorized campus event commemorating professor G N Saibaba's death anniversary. While seven other accused received bail, Das's plea was denied by a sessions court citing serious allegations, including possession of Maoist literature. Das denies the claims, calling them untrue and argues that possession of such material is not a crime. The High Court granted interim protection from arrest and directed him to cooperate with the investigation.
