Ex-TISS Student Arrested After Bail Denial Over GN Saibaba Memorial Event
A former Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) student, Abhirup Paul, was arrested by Mumbai Police after a sessions court rejected his anticipatory bail plea in connection with a memorial event for G.N. Saibaba held on campus without permission. The court denied bail for Paul and another student but granted it to seven others. The police allege the students raised slogans demanding the release of activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, while the accused deny these charges, stating the gathering was peaceful and lawful.
