A former student of TISS, Abhirup Paul, has been granted bail by the Metropolitan Magistrate Court. He was arrested after a memorial was held for late activist GN Saibaba. The court cited a lack of evidence linking Paul to a banned organisation.

The court found that there was no material to connect Paul to a Maoist mindset, despite the discovery of certain PDF books. Paul's lawyer had sought bail, arguing that his custodial interrogation was not necessary.

Further details about the case and the court's decision are available. The bail was granted after Paul's anticipatory bail application was rejected earlier.
