Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Ex-TISS Student in GN Saibaba Commemoration Case
A Mumbai court granted bail to former Tata Institute of Social Sciences student Abhirup Paul, arrested for attending a 2025 event commemorating activist GN Saibaba. The court found no prima facie evidence linking him to Maoist or anti-national activities, despite prosecution claims of Maoist literature and slogans supporting jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. Bail was granted to protect his career, with conditions including weekly reporting to police until chargesheet filing. The case stems from allegations of unlawful assembly and incitement during the event.
