Granting the Alt News co-founder interim bail in all six cases registered by the Uttar Pradesh police, the court observed that the power of arrest must be used sparingly.
A Delhi court on Friday granted bail to Alt News Co-founder Mohammed Zubair in a criminal case registered against him in the National Capital for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity between groups through his tweet in 2018.
Additional Sessions Judge Devender Kumar Jangala granted the relief to Zubair on a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and one surety of the like amount, and directed him not to leave the country without its prior permission.
