The Bombay High Court ruled that the 2011 arrest of activist Arun Ferreira on Naxal membership charges was illegal. The court ordered the Maharashtra government to pay him ₹2 lakh compensation. Ferreira, also accused in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon case, was arrested shortly after being acquitted in other cases. The Nagpur bench criticized police for wrongly branding him absconding while he was in jail since 2007.
