Saibaba was arrested exactly seven years and one day after social activist Arun Ferreira had been picked up in Nagpur under the directions of the same Anti-Naxal Operations Police Wing that arrested the Delhi professor. I couldn’t but help remind myself that it is just three months since Ferreira has managed to finally get himself cleared of all charges after a six-year, nine-month prison ordeal. I’m well aware of the various methods employed by the police and police prosecuting machinery to delay the progress of cases – non-production of the accused in court, non-production of witnesses, non-appearance of investigating officers, late implication in further cases, until a final acquittal. I know it is only quite likely that Saibaba and the other accused in his case will be forced through a long process to prove their innocence and to reclaim their right to dissent. #GNSaibaba
