Ashoka University professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, who was arrested by the Haryana Police last week over a Facebook post on 'Operation Sindoor', has been sent to judicial custody by a local court in Sonepat, Haryana.
The Court rejected State Police's request for his 7-day custody. On May 18, the Magistrate had remanded the Professor to police custody for two days.
Mahmudabad has already moved the Supreme Court challenging his arrest. The matter will likely be heard tomorrow.
Mahmudabad is facing charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, inter alia, pertaining to acts prejudicial to maintaining communal harmony, making assertions likely to cause disharmony, acts endangering national sovereignty and words or gestures intended to insult a woman's modesty.
He was also summoned by Haryana State Commission For Women which is headed by Renu Bhatia.
