Both Prashant Rahi (arrested a few days back) and Saibaba have been working for the release of political prisoners. And they are behind bars now. The city is at its bizarre worst.
Supporters of Aasaram Bapu on the streets for the support of their rapist guru; another section of the public hankering for death penalty of the Dec 16 rapists. DU students herded off to the thana in the middle of Wednesday night and now Saibaba picked up by Gadchiroli police with Vasantha and Manjari in house arrest for sometime. Demo outside UP Bhavan protesting against Muzzafarnagar violence. All this while Vinod Raina was being cremated. Too overwhelming really... I hope Vasantha and Manjari are safe. The charges seem flimsy...keeping stolen goods in their residence.

Available In Many Exciting FlavoursSaffolalife.com/Masalaoats Ads by Google STAFF REPORTER SHARE · PRINT · T+ G.N. Saibaba, an English professor at Ram Lal Anand College, was detained for questioning and searches conducted at his residence on Delhi University’s North Campus on Thursday by a Gadchiroli police team from Maharashtra which had recently arrested two men allegedly linked to the Naxal movement. The police action against Dr. Saibaba, who suffers 90 per cent disability, evoked sharp reactions from academics. Accompanied by their Delhi counterparts, the Maharashtra police raided Dr. Saibaba’s residence in the afternoon and seized his mobile phones and a laptop. According to sources, he was subjected to questioning by senior officers. Expressing shock over the police action, some DU professors said the raid was conducted on the grounds that Dr. Saibaba’s residence “is used as a place for depositing stolen property”. “Dr. Saibaba’s residence is on the university premises, and as such, the university administration is clearly complicit in granting permission for the raid. Dr. Saibaba and his family, including his 15-year-old daughter, were kept in custody in his house,” they said. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
