Rajya Sabha member and TRS leader K. Keshava Rao has requested the Central Government to intervene and ensure that bail is granted to Asst. Prof G.N. Saibaba, who was arrested by the Maharashtra Police in 2014 for his alleged links with the CPI-Maoist. In a letter written to UMH Rajnath Singh recently, Rao sought his intervention to ensure that Asst. Prof. Saibaba was granted bail.

A CPI-Maoist cadre, identified as Chandeshwar Yadav (26), wanted in Jharkhand for ambushing a Police patrol party in 2014, was arrested in Delhi. Yadav, a 'sub-zonal commander' of the CPI-Maoist, carrying a reward of INR 500,000, was taken into custody by the sleuths of Special Cell following a tip off from west Delhi's Kapashera area.

CPI-Maoist ideologue Kobad Ghandy, accused of propagating the activities of the party in Delhi, was granted interim bail by a Court. The Court said that 65-year-old Ghandy, who is in custody in this case since September 2009, was suffering from various ailments and his condition has "visibly deteriorated" during the period of trial. "In these facts and circumstances, I admit accused Kobad Ghandy to interim bail for a period of three months on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of the like amount," the Court said.
