On 6 June, the Pune police had arrested Professor Shoma Sen along with activists Rona Wilson, Mahesh Raut, Sudhir Dhawale and Surendra Gadling for their alleged Maoist links. The arrests were part of the police's probe into the 1 January 2018 Bhima-Koregaon riots. The activists were charged under various sections of the IPC.
The UPA Government had, in December 2012, identified 128 organisations with linkages to CPI (Maoists) and written to all the states asking them to take action against people involved with these organisations, and seven of those (Varavara Rao, Sudha Bhardwaj, Surendra Gadling, Rona Wilson, Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves and Mahesh Raut) arrested belong to organisations appearing in the list, reported ANI.
