Bombay High Court protects former TISS student from arrest
Published
The Bombay High Court granted interim protection from arrest to former Tata Institute of Social Sciences student Kamakhya Das, accused of raising inflammatory slogans at an unauthorised campus event. The judge noted that investigators had already seized his phone and laptop and found custodial interrogation unnecessary at this stage, while requiring him to cooperate with the continuing investigation.
Why it matters
The order limits pre-trial detention where electronic evidence is already secured and allegations concern campus expression. It does not end the case, but it reinforces scrutiny of whether custody is genuinely necessary.
Evidence assessment
Bar & Bench reports the interim order, its conditions and the court’s reasoning about seized devices. The allegations have not been finally adjudicated, and the investigation remains open.
Medium confidence — The central development is supported by the named report, while important outcomes or primary records remain incomplete.
