New Delhi: Anand Teltumbde, who has been named as one of the accused in the January 1, 2018, Bhima Koregaon violence case was taken into illegal custody by the Pune police on February 2. This was despite the Supreme Court granting protection against his arrest until February 11. He was later released in a few hours after the special court in Pune took the police to task for arbitrarily arresting him.
