Mumbai TISS case: Kapil Sibal questions government, judiciary after two ex-students denied anticipatory bail

Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) Kapil Sibal on Monday said it was a shame that two former Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) students were denied anticipatory bail by a Mumbai court, claiming that the development reflected the government’s intolerance as well as the state of the judiciary, news agency PTI reported.

A court in Mumbai on August 7 denied anticipatory bail to two former TISS students facing criminal cases for allegedly holding an unauthorised campus gathering to pay homage to former Delhi University Professor GN Saibaba and raising slogans seeking the release of undertrial prisoners Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam.
