Mumbai Court Denies Bail to Two Ex-TISS Students in Saibaba Tribute Case
A Mumbai court denied anticipatory bail to two former Tata Institute of Social Sciences students accused of holding an unauthorized gathering honoring late professor G.N. Saibaba and raising slogans supporting jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. While the court found paying homage lawful, it cited concerns over slogans and materials linked to banned groups. One student was arrested and remanded to police custody. Police have also issued notices to two TISS professors in connection with the investigation. Seven other students received anticipatory bail.
