Pune police brought back revolutionary writer P. Varavara Rao to Hyderabad on Thursday, a day after the Supreme Court ordered the police to keep the activists arrested for alleged links with Maoists confined to their homes till September 6.
He was arrested along with four other rights activists in different parts of the country on Tuesday for their alleged links with Maoists.
Pune police arrested Varavara Rao after an eight-hour search of his Gandhinagar residence in a case related to the alleged Maoists’ plot to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Pune police brought back Varavara Rao following the Apex Court order to them to place the five rights activists they detained in a country-wide swoop under house arrest in their own homes.
