Sharjeel Imam, who has been slapped with sedition cases across several states for his alleged inflammatory speeches, was arrested in Bihar’s Jehanabad on January 28.
Earlier in the day, one of Imam’s brothers was picked up by the police in an attempt to trace the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) activist.
The police had raided Imam’s ancestral home on January 26 night after “help was sought by central agencies”.
Said to be in his early 30s, Imam has a degree from IIT Mumbai and later moved to Delhi for pursuing research at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)’s Centre for Historical Studies.
