Bhima Koregaon Raids LIVE Updates: Late Night Drama in Faridabad as Cops Drag Sudha Bharadwaj to Court Despite HC Order

News 18  

Bhima Koregaon violence probe latest updates: Activist Sudha Bharadwaj, who was earlier today arrested from her Faridabad residence, is being whisked away to Pune going against the orders of Punjab and Haryana High Court, which put a stay order on her transit remand, claimed her lawyer. Pune police on Tuesday raided the homes of at least nine rights activists and arrested five of them for alleged Maoist links in sweeping raids across the nation. A habeas corpus plea was filed at the Delhi High Court, which stayed the transit remand of Navlakha that police obtained from a local court to take Navlakha to a court in Pune. Booker Prize winning author Arundhati Roy wrote to News18, saying that the fact that the raids are taking place on the homes of lawyers, poets, writers, Dalit rights activists and intellectuals – instead of on those who make up lynch mobs and murder people in broad daylight tells us very clearly where India is headed.
