New Delhi (11/07/2022): A sessions court in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh on Monday sent Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair to judicial custody for 14 days.
He was presented before the court through video conferencing from Sitapur Jail. Charges under Sections 153B, 505(1)(B), 505(2) have been added to the FIR against him.
Warrant was issued against him in Lakhimpur Kheri’s Mohammadi, in a case registered against him in September 2021, after a complaint was filed by a Sudarshan News employee for a fact check tweet. The session court is expected to hear his bail plea on July 13.
Zubair is currently in Sitapur jail.
The Supreme Court last week granted five days’ interim bail to the Alt News co-founder in a case registered in Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh for hurting religious sentiments through a tweet.
The interim bail to Zubair was granted for 5 days on the condition that he will not post any fresh tweets on the issue related to the case and not leave the jurisdiction of the Sitapur Magistrate’s court.
