The statement, issued by All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary K Venugopal, said that the decision was taken by the Central Election Committee of the grand old party.

The 35-year-old professor, identified as Sandeep Goyal, had been battling clinical depression and allegedly took his own life after slitting his daughter's throat with a surgical blade.

Addressing a press conference, the 58-year-old said he can't live without teaching and wants to resume his job as a professor. Saibaba was terminated from his service from DU's Ram Lal Anand College in 2021 after being implicated in the case. He said he still feels as if he is in a jail cell after spending seven years in prison.

Former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba, who was released from the Nagpur Central Jail after his acquittal in an alleged Maoist links case, expressed wonder at his ability to come out alive despite suffering a "brutal" jail life. Saibaba, who works for the rights of tribals in central and eastern India, called his arrest an "afterthought" and claimed that the prosecution had failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

Saibaba, 54, is wheelchair-bound and has been lodged in Nagpur central jail for years. In May 2014, the former DU professor was arrested by the anti-Naxal operations unit of the Maharashtra Police accusing him of being the 'urban contact' of banned CPI(Maoist). The police alleged that Saibaba was 'in touch with top Maoists leaders through a series of couriers'.

The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court on Tuesday acquitted former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba in an alleged Maoist links case, noting the prosecution failed to prove the case against him. The court also set aside the life sentence imposed on 54-year-old Saibaba.

The Maharashtra government has challenged the Bombay High Court's decision to acquit former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba of links to the banned CPI (Maoist). The court acquitted Saibaba, set aside his life sentence, and acquitted five other accused. The high court deemed the prosecution's case "null and void."

The deportation of UK academic Nitasha Kaul upon arrival at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru has ignited a political controversy in Karnataka. Kaul, who holds an OCI card, was invited by the state government to participate in a conference on India's Constitution. However, she was denied entry and deported based on a lookout circular.

The ruckus began when Kaul, a professor of Politics, International Relations, and Critical Interdisciplinary studies at the University of Westminster – and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) – alleged that she was denied entry at Bengaluru airport despite her passport and OCI documents being in order. The immigration officials, she said, were “following orders from Delhi.” The professor further alleged that she was kept in a “holding cell with restrictions on movement” till she could catch the next flight back to the UK after 24 hours.

​​Karnataka Ministers alleged on Monday the incident shows how the individual rights as well the rights of the state governments are being trampled upon, while the BJP described the professor at the University of Westminster Nitasha Kaul, who is also an Overseas Citizen of India, "a known terrorist sympathizer & one who constantly spews venom & disseminates anti-India propaganda."
