Noida student served Rs 5 lakh peace-bond notice over Jantar Mantar protest
A Gautam Buddha University student received a peace bond notice after a protest. The student denied allegations and stated participation was peaceful. Authorities later revoked the notice after the matter came to attention. Police had alleged the student spread anti-government narratives on campus. The incident occurred amid legal proceedings for maintaining public order.
A GBU university student, Akshat Tripathi, faced a notice seeking a Rs 5 lakh personal bond for his participation in a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The notice, issued under Section 130 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), demanded that Tripathi show cause why he shouldn't be ordered to maintain peace for six months, along with a Rs 5 lakh bond and two local solvent person's sureties.
The notice was later revoked after being brought to the police’s attention on September 4. Tripathi, who claims to have participated in the protest peacefully and not attended university classes, denies the allegations. The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) condemned the action, calling it repressive and criticizing the Uttar Pradesh government and police.
