Former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba, based in India, spoke to media persons after his release from jail for alleged links with Maoists.

GN Saibaba said, "If the Constitution of the country is implemented even 50 percent then there will definitely be a change, I am hopeful."

When a reporter asked GN Saibaba about his hope of getting out of jail, he said, "Look, hope was the only thing that helped me and I was able to go through all this. It is a surprise that I was able to get out of jail alive."

Former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba, who was acquitted in the case of alleged links with Maoists, came out of Nagpur's Central Jail on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

On March 5, 2024, the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court acquitted GN Saibaba, Hem Mishra, Mahesh Tirkey, Vijay Tirkey, Narayan Sanglikar, Prashant Rahi and Pandu Narot (deceased) in the case of alleged links with Maoists.

GN Saibaba was in jail in 2017 following the decision of a court in Gadchiroli in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

Before this, he was also in jail between 2014 and 2016 but was out on bail at that time.

According to news agency PTI, after coming out of jail, GN Saibaba told media persons, "My health is very bad. I cannot talk. First I will have to get treatment, only then I will be able to speak."

On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the Nagpur bench had overturned Saibaba's life imprisonment saying that the prosecution could not prove the charges against him.

54 year old Saibaba walks in a wheelchair and is 99 percent disabled. He was imprisoned in Nagpur Central Jail for the last 11 years.
