A group of academics, activists and organisations on Sunday 6th September’20 issued a statement demanding the immediate withdrawal of the National Investigation Agency’s “menacing and threatening” notice to professor Partho Sarothi Ray, in connection with the Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad cases. They said the summon was yet another “sinister attempt in the fascist regime’s witch-hunt” at silencing voices the of dissent.
Ray, an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata, has been asked to present himself before the investigators in Mumbai on September 10 at 11 am. He has denied havingany connection with the case and accused the investigative agency of trying to “harass him, as has been the case with other intellectuals”.
