Mumbai Court Grants Bail to TISS Student in Maoist Slogans Case Citing Lack of Evidence
A Mumbai court granted bail to Tata Institute of Social Sciences student Abhirup Paul, arrested for allegedly raising Maoist slogans and possessing related literature. The court found no incriminating evidence beyond suspicion, noting that possession of PDF books does not prove a Maoist mindset. Paul was ordered to execute a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and report weekly. The case stems from a 2025 incident commemorating GN Saibaba, where slogans demanding the release of jailed activists were raised, but the court deemed further custody unnecessary.
