Mumbai Police File FIR Against TISS Students Over Saibaba Memorial

Investigators are reviewing video and social media after the institute complained about an unauthorised campus event.

Overview

  • At least 10 students have been named in the FIR on charges including unlawful assembly, promoting enmity between groups and acts prejudicial to the nation.
  • Police allege participants raised slogans supporting Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, while students insist it was a brief, quiet commemoration with no sloganeering.
  • Officers say notices have been issued and statements are being recorded, with no confirmed arrests as the probe continues.
  • TISS officials say show-cause notices will be sent to the students identified in the complaint as part of internal disciplinary steps.
  • Some accounts report detentions for questioning and seizure of devices, and students allege a rival campus group disrupted the memorial, which police say they are verifying.
