Hyderabad: The death of former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba was partly a result of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, which allows accused to be kept in prison for lengthy periods, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said.
Reacting to the demise of Saibaba and murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, Owaisi on Saturday night in a post on X said, “Truly devastating news of two deaths on the same day.”
Saibaba died at a state-run hospital here on Saturday night due to post-operative complications, seven months after he was acquitted in an alleged Maoist links case.
“ Prof Saibaba’s death is also deeply concerning. His death was also partly a result of the UAPA that allows cops to keep you in prison for lengthy periods without any evidence, the Hyderabad MP said.
Siddique died in hospital after being shot by three men in Mumbai’s Bandra area on Saturday night, officials said.
Terming Baba Siddique’s murder as “highly condemnable”, Owaisi said, “It reflects the deteriorating state of law & order in Maharashtra. May Allah grant him maghfirah. My condolences to his family, friends & colleagues.”
