The release of activist Gautam Navlakha, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoists links case, was delayed yet again on Wednesday as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) raised safety concerns about the premises in Navi Mumbai.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday urged the Bombay High Court to not grant to jailed human rights activist Gautam Navlakha, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoists link case.
The court noted that the activist was allowed to leave prison given that his brother and alleged Naxal leader Milind Teltumbde was killed in an encounter in November last year.
Rao was granted temporary medical bail by the high court in February 2021 for a period of six months. He later filed a plea seeking permanent bail on the grounds of ill-health.
