Court grants bail to SFI activists at Sanskrit varsity
They were arrested in connection with a protest at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, Ernakulam, on August 13, during which an alleged symbolic funeral of Vice-Chancellor Ciza Thomas was staged
The Perumbavoor Judicial First Class Magistrate Court granted bail to four Students’ Federation of India (SFI) activists arrested for staging a symbolic funeral of Vice-Chancellor Ciza Thomas during a protest at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) on August 13. The activists, Mebin Jose, Basil Scaria, Vijeesh, and Yadhu Krishnan, were booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Two cases were registered following complaints from a police officer and Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit’s Vice-Chancellor. SFI State secretary P.S. Sanjeev alleged that the activists were granted bail due to the fabricated nature of the case and called for an apology from Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala and Higher Education Minister Roji M. John.
