Former TISS Student Seeks Anticipatory Bail in G N Saibaba Memorial Case
A former Tata Institute of Social Sciences student, Kamakhya Das, has sought anticipatory bail from the Bombay High Court in connection with an FIR over an unauthorized 2025 campus gathering commemorating late professor G N Saibaba. Das denies allegations of raising slogans for jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, calling them untrue and based on unnamed sources. The sessions court granted bail to seven accused but denied relief to Das and another student, citing serious allegations including possession of Maoist literature. The High Court is set to hear the plea on August 14.
