The arrest of 83-year-old tribal rights activist Fr Stan Swamy from his residence in Bagaicha, Ranchi, in connection with his alleged role in the Koregaon-Bhima case on Thursday, is the latest name in the long list of people who have been implicated by the NIA with regard to a "larger conspiracy to cause unrest." The People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) has put out a strongly worded statement condemning the arrest. 

The NIA on Friday filed a supplementary charge-sheet against eight people, including activists Gautam Navlakha and Fr Swamy, for their alleged involvement in inciting a mob to violence in Koregaon-Bhima near Pune on January 1, 2018 and accused them of waging war against the state, officials said.
