Dalit scholar Anand Teltumbde, an accused in Bhima-Koregaon case, was arrested at Mumbai airport early this morning. Mr Teltumbde was arrested by the Pune police a day after his request for protection from arrest was rejected by a court. The Pune Sessions Court on Friday had denied the pre-arrest bail application citing sufficient material against Mr Teltumbde. "In my view, there is sufficient material collected by the investigating officer to show the involvement of the present accused in the alleged commission of the offence. Moreover, investigation in respect of present applicant/accused is at (a) very crucial stage," Additional sessions judge Kishor Vadane observed while pronouncing the judgement.
