    The three activists, along with Varavara Rao and Gautam Navalakha, had been arrested in August over alleged ties to Maoists and for allegedly inciting the Bhima-Koregaon violence of January 1.

    Backstory: Why the activists were arrested
  • The activists were arrested on August 28 by the Pune police for allegedly having a hand in inciting the Bhima-Koregaon violence on January 1 that killed one.

    Police claim that provocative speeches given during the Elgaar Parishad event sparked the January 1 violence between Marathas and Dalits.

    However, the arrests were challenged by historian Romila Thapar and her associates in court.

  • Do you know?

    What was the Elgaar Parishad event?

  • The Elgaar Parishad event was held on December 31, 2017 in Pune to mark the 200th anniversary of the battle of Bhima Koregaon where 500 Dalit soldiers of the British Indian Army defeated 20,000 Peshwas led by Baji Rao II.

  • Following the Elgaar Parishad event, lakhs of Dalits had gathered to commemorate the Battle of Bhima Koregaon on January 1.

    However, clashes broke out between Marathas and Dalits, killing one.

    After the clashes, violent protests erupted across the state, including in Pune, Nagpur, Baramati, Aurangabad, and Thane.

    Police later said that investigations had revealed Maoist involvement in the financing of the Elgaar Parishad event.

  • While Maharashtra police claimed that the arrests were made for the activists' links to Maoists, Thapar and co alleged that the arrests were a crackdown on dissent.

    Subsequently, the Supreme Court ordered that the activists be kept under house arrest.

    However, on September 28, the SC rejected Romila Thapar's plea challenging the arrests, extended the activists' house arrest for four weeks, and asked Pune Police to proceed with their probe.
