Leading public intellectual and Dalit activist Teltumbde was charged with inciting caste violence in the village of Bhima Koregaon in 2018, though reports indicate police initiated the conflict. He was taken into custody in April 2020, after his anticipatory bail pleas were rejected. Following multiple rejected bail pleas, he was granted permanent bail by the Supreme Court on November 18, 2022. However, the National Investigation Agency also filed for a reversal of the Supreme Court’s decision. As such, Teltumbde was released a week later.
