💨 Abstract

Ali Khan Mahmudabad, head of Ashoka University's political science department, was remanded in judicial custody until May 27 for his social media posts about Operation Sindoor. His arrest followed two FIRs accusing his posts of endangering national sovereignty. Police initially sought a remand extension, but the court denied it based on opposition from his lawyers. Mahmudabad's arrest has drawn condemnation from various political parties and academics.
