Dr Anand Teltumbde, arrested in connection with violence at Bhima-Koregaon in January 2018, has moved a bail application running into 65 pages, before the special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court. The special court has now asked the prosecution to file a reply on the same and scheduled the matter for hearing on January 27.
Teltumbde, an engineer and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) graduate who used to teach at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, and the Goa Institute of Management, was arrested after the Supreme Court (SC) refused to grant him protection. On April 14, Teltumbde surrendered before NIA in Mumbai. The agency had said it needed to probe Teltumbde’s alleged links with the banned outfit, Communist Party of India (CPI, Maoist).
In the bail plea filed on Tuesday, Teltumbde’s legal team has denied all the allegations of his involvement in the case and his connection with activities of the banned organisation.
NIA in their supplementary charge-sheet against Teltumbde and others on October 9 last year, claimed that Teltumbde is a senior member of the CPI (Maoist) group and was working in urban areas. The agency claimed that he was in contact with all the arrested accused.
The agency claimed that Teltumbde was one of the conveners of the Elgar Parishad incident and was present at Shaniwar Wada when the event took place. “To further the activities of CPI (Maoist) on an international level, he used to attend international conferences under the guise of academic visits to Canada, Pakistan, USA, France, etc. In the said conferences, Teltumbde used to exchange literature on ideology, training and working strategy of the CPI (Maoist) with international communist organisations,” NIA claimed in its charge-sheet.
