Human rights activist Anand Teltumbde, whose house was today searched by the Maharashtra police as part of multi-city raids, said he was not even remotely connected to the allegations levelled against him.
The raids were conducted by the Pune police on the homes on those suspected of having Maoist links at several locations across the country.
Sources in the Goa police said a team from the Maharashtra police searched Teltumbde's residence in Sankhalim village,40km from here, today, but left soon as he was not at home.
Asked to comment on the police action, Teltumbde, a professor of data analytics at the Goa Institute of Management (GIM), said he is not even remotely connected to the allegations levelled against him.
"What reaction shall I give to you? There is nothing. We are not even remotely connected to the allegations that they have been levelling against us," he told PTI over the phone from Mumbai,
Asked about his future course of action, Teltumbde said, "What stand can I take? Today what is happening in the country is that, they are doing whatever they feel like."
