A people's group today demanded the release of Delhi University Professor G N Saibaba who has been sentenced with four others to life imprisonment for alleged links to Maoists.
Janhastakshep, the group, alleged that Saibaba has been "falsely implicated" in the case under sections of UAPA and that he should be immediately freed and the case dropped.
It also condemned the Aadhar project terming it as the "newest threat" to individual freedom and civil liberties and called for its shelving.
The civil liberties group made the demands in a resolution, which was adopted in a gathering in the national capital, where it also sought the withdrawal of punishment to the Maruti workers.

A Gurgaon court had awarded life sentence to 13 former employees of Maruti-Suzuki India Limited, found them of guilty of murder, in connection with the violence at the automobile giant's Manesar plant in 2012.
