The arrest of five rights activists had nothing to do with their dissenting opinion or difference in their political or other ideologies but was because of "serious criminal offences" and incriminating material, the Maharashtra police told the Supreme Court today. A week ago, the Supreme Court had ordered house arrest of the activists till tomorrow - instead of police custody - and had stressed that "dissent is the safety valve of democracy".
