MUMBAI: Three accused, including academician Anand Teltumbde, moved the special NIA court on Thursday seeking discharge in the Elgar Parishad case.
Teltumbde's plea seeking discharge from several offences under the UAPA said that the NIA had not produced any material to show that he is a member of the CPI (Maoist). The plea said that Teltumbde had written about 30 books that are freely available in the market and a witness has stated that he has read one of the books written by him called 'Anti-Imperialism and Annihilation of Caste'.
