The Faridabad CJM had earlier granted Bharadwaj’s transit remand to the Maharashtra police despite the Punjab and Haryana High Court staying the remand until 30 August. Bharadwaj is said to have informed her lawyer that police were trying to take her directly to the airport late night Tuesday. Bharadwaj was arrested from her Charmwood Village house around 7 a.m Tuesday by a group of 10 Maharashtra police personnel.
Well after midnight local time, reports from Faridabad indicated that Bharadwaj was being held in a Toyota Innova vehicle parked just outside the house of the CJM in Faridabad's Sector 15A. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had ordered that Bharadwaj will not be remanded to Maharashtra Police custody till the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) of Faridabad passes an order granting this transit remand.
Nine activists were searched and five of them arrested Tuesday after sweeping multi-city raids across in Delhi, Faridabad, Goa, Mumbai, Ranchi and Hyderabad. Maoist ideologue Varavara Rao, Sudha Bharadwaj and activists Arun Fereira, Gautam Navlakha and Vernon Gonsalves are the five people who have been taken into custody Tuesday over allegations of Maoist links.
