Maharashtra Police Arrest Delhi University Prof. for Alleged Links With MaoistsHyderabad: The Maharashtra police on Friday arrested Delhi University English professor GN Saibaba on allegations that he had close ties with Maoist elements. Saibaba was earlier under inquiry after police had found questionable material on his computer during a raid. The professor's name had earlier come up during questioning of two other Maoist sympathisers.

The wheelchair-bound professor was earlier questioned in January on his alleged ties and had claimed at that time the material possessed by him was purely of academic interest. Saibaba has been one of those opposing the Operation Greenhunt. The police alleged that the professor was an 'overground' worker for the CPI-Maoist, a charge that he denies. Saibaba was born in Amalapuram district and has been a close sympathiser of the left movement.
