Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru campus witnessed animated drama after security personnel of the premier institute blocked civil rights activist Teesta Setalvad at two gates from entering, in an alleged bid to scuttle her talk on Wednesday, August 16 evening.
Ms. Setalvad arrived at the Kendriya Vidyalaya gate to deliver a talk on “Communal Harmony and Justice” organised by Break the Silence, a collective of IISc students. As soon as she landed at the gate, a security personnel stopped her from entering. The security officer also had a photograph of her on his phone which helped him identify her, it is alleged.
