He was arrested for his alleged links to Hem Mishra, a JNU student arrested in Maharashtra, over alleged links with Naxals.
According to the letter Saibaba was not allowed to talk to his lawyer or his colleagues to ensure that the ‘investigation’ would be fair and transparent. DUTA claimed that during the entire period, his family was kept captive and some were individually prevented from making or receiving calls. The police locked them into various rooms of the house for long periods of time.’
