Nearly five years after their arrest under the UAPA for alleged Maoist links in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon violence case, activists Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira have been granted bail by the Supreme Court. The “materials available against them at this stage cannot justify continued detention”, the court observed.
The two were booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and jailed in August 2018.
