# Bombay HC grants interim bail to ex-TISS student in slogan case 2026-08-13T19:09:14+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Bombay High Court on Friday granted interim protection from arrest to Kamakhya Prasad Das, a former TISS student booked for raising slogans demanding the release of Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. Justice Prafulla Khubalkar posted the anticipatory bail plea for hearing on August 31 and ordered that Das not be arrested till then. A sessions court had on August 7 denied bail to Das, 23, and another student Abhirup Paul, saying the slogans were raised at an unauthorised campus event to mark the first death anniversary of late Delhi University professor G N Saibaba. The police alleged Das had Maoist literature on his phone. The high court’s interim relief came after Das argued he had fully cooperated with the investigation for 10 months. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - livelaw.in Tags: Bombay High Court, free speech, Maoist literature, pre-arrest bail, TISS, UAPA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ex-tiss-student-moves-bombay-hc-for-pre-arrest-bail/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
