Master Stroke(28.09.2018): SC greenlight on probe against activists, says arrests not because of dissent

In a two-to-one majority judgement, the Supreme Court on Friday refused to interfere in the arrest of five activists in the Bhima Koregaon case in Maharashtra. It also declined to constitute Special Investigation Team (SIT), allowing Pune police to go ahead with its probe.

The house arrest of the five rights activists -- Sudha Bhardwaj, Varavara Rao, Gautam Navlakha, Vernon Gonsalves, Arun Ferreira -- will continue for four more weeks, a majority judgement, read out by Justice A.M. Khanwilkar also on behalf of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, said.
