Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair's lawyer today told a Delhi court that he's been arrested for a 2018 tweet even when it is a screenshot from a 1983 movie cleared by the censor board.
Slamming "those who use disinformation as a tool to polarise the society and rake nationalist sentiments", the Editors Guild of India further stated that AltNews' "alert vigilance" was resented by them.
The tweet over which fact-checking website's co-founder Mohammed Zubair was arrested last night contained words and picture that are "highly provocative and more than sufficient to incite feeling of hatred" among people, the FIR says
