After court denies anticipatory bail, ex-TISS student arrested over GN Saibaba campus event
Mumbai Police apprehended a 30-year-old former Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) student on Friday for allegedly organizing an event on the Deonar campus without authorization, connected to the death anniversary of G N Saibaba. Saibaba, a former professor from Delhi University, was arrested in response to an October 2025 complaint filed by the TISS associate dean.
The students, aged between 21 and 30, were booked for offenses such as inciting enmity between groups, making prejudicial statements, and unlawful assembly. They denied the charges, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations, including claims that they raised slogans promoting Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam's release and possessed Maoist ideology literature.
The court had rejected the anticipatory bail pleas of two other former students while allowing seven others to remain free.
