# Bombay HC grants interim protection to ex-TISS student in slogan case 2026-08-14T22:35:53+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Bombay High Court on Friday granted interim protection from arrest to Kamakhya Prasad Das, a former Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) student accused of raising inflammatory slogans at an unauthorised campus event. Justice Prafulla Khubalkar said Das’s mobile phone and laptop had already been seized, so custodial interrogation was not needed. The court directed Das to join the investigation on August 19 and 24 and posted the next hearing for August 31. The case stems from an October 2025 event on the TISS campus where students commemorated the first death anniversary of former Delhi University professor G.N. Saibaba. Prosecutors allege that during the gathering, Das and others raised slogans calling for the release of jailed activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, both accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Das denies any objectionable slogans were raised. A lower court had rejected his anticipatory bail but granted it to five other students. ## Coverage - nationalheraldindia.com - freepressjournal.in - thehindu.com Tags: Bombay High Court, Sharjeel Imam, TISS, UAPA, Umar Khalid Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bombay-hc-grants-interim-protection-to-former-tiss-student-in-slogan-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
