The Supreme Court today granted bail to Ashoka University professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, but pulled him up for his social media post on Operation Sindoor. The court said "monsters" came and attacked our country and asked the professor why he needed to seek "cheap popularity".
Professor Mahmudabad, associate professor and Head of the Department of Political Science at Ashoka University, was arrested last week over a social media post on Operation Sindoor. He was charged under sections linked to promoting enmity between groups and acts seen as threatening national integrity and sovereignty.
