Delhi University college asks GN Saibaba not to visit campus without approval

Delhi University’s Prof. G.N. Saibaba, who is out on bail in a case of alleged Maoist links, has been asked by the Ram Lal Anand College to not enter college without prior permission as it creates “law and order” problems.

In a letter sent to Prof. Saibaba, college principal Vijay Sharma termed his recent visits to the college “unauthorised and unwarranted conduct” and has warned him of action.

“It has come to our knowledge that you have entered the classrooms of the college and held an interactive session with the students. The governing body has taken serious note of your unauthorised conduct of entering the classes during suspension without any written permission,” he wrote in the letter.

“Your entry inside the class is unwarranted as during suspension you are not required to teach the students. You are directed not to enter the college without permission as it creates law and order problems. Violation of this will be treated as misconduct and interference in activities of the college and you shall be liable for further action for the same,” the letter added.

An English professor at the Ram Lal Anand College, Mr Saibaba was suspended from the university following his arrest by the Maharashtra police in 2014 for his alleged Maoist links. He was lodged in the Nagpur Central Jail for 14 months and granted bail in July 2015 after the court noticed his deteriorating health condition.
