NEW DELHI: Another
Delhi University’s assistant professor
,
PK Vijayan
, has been
summoned
on Friday by National Investigation Agency (
NIA) in the
Bhima Koregaon case.
Earlier this month, Hany Babu MT, an associate professor at the department of English, was arrested by the agency in Mumbai. He was the 12th person in the case to be arrested. Students have been protesting demanding his release.
PK Vijayan also teaches at Hindu College. Both Babu and Vijayan are members of the defence committee for the release of GN Saibaba. Saibaba, an English teacher with 90% disability, has been charged under UAPA and is lodged at the Nagpur central jail.
Speaking to TOI, Vijayan, said, “I have been called tomorrow morning at the headquarter here. It is just a summon notice, which I have received.”
When asked if he is being called due to his association with the defence committee, Vijayan said, “I have no idea, but I suspect that is the case.”
