Abhirup Paul was held hours after he and another student from the institute were denied anticipatory bail by a Mumbai court.

The students, who are among nine charged for attending a GN Saibaba death anniversary event, were also booked for possessing books reflecting Maoist ideology.

A Mumbai court denied anticipatory bail to two TISS students accused of raising slogans supporting Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam's release during a campus gathering last year.
