Ali Khan Mahmudabad, a prominent professor at Ashoka University, was arrested after posting remarks on social media criticizing India's Operation Sindoor and the government's treatment of Muslims. His detention, reportedly following a complaint by a BJP youth leader, has ignited widespread condemnation from academics, activists, and politicians who view the move as an attack on free speech and academic freedom. The university has stated it will support the investigation while seeking more details. The incident has intensified debate over censorship, minority rights, and the limits of dissent in India. The arrest is part of a broader pattern, with several others also detained over alleged links to Pakistan or critical remarks about military operations.
