13 BHU students arrested and interrogated by ATS over allegation of burning Manusmriti

All 13 students, including three females from the Bhagat Singh Students Morcha (BSM), were sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Varanasi court following an FIR alleging their involvement in burning the Manusmriti during the Manusmriti Dahan Divas. The students were also interrogated by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). The student organisation dismissed the allegations, accusing the authorities of suppressing any civil organization that challenges the RSS-led government’s fascist agenda.
