TISS Student Abhirup Paul Gets Another Day In Police Custody
TISS Student Abhirup Paul Gets One More Day In Police Custody Over Alleged Unauthorised Campus Event · freepressjournal.in

A university student in Mumbai named Abhirup Paul is being held by the police.

The police think he helped host a memorial event at his college without getting permission first.

The event remembered a former professor named G. N. Saibaba, who used to teach in Delhi.

Police say students entered the campus without asking, showed Saibaba's photo, and lit candles.

Some people at the event shouted slogans like "Release Umar Khalid" and "Release Sharjeel Imam."

Abhirup asked a court to let him go free, but the court said no.

Now the police want one more day with him to look at his phone and computer.

They say they found books and messages they think are suspicious, and some messages were deleted.

Police have also asked two professors at the university about messages they may have shared with him.

The investigation is still going on, and no one has been found guilty yet.
