India’s top court grants bail to jailed Modi critic Mohammed Zubair and orders his release from jail more than three weeks after he was detained for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through his tweets
Mohammed Zubair was arrested after an anonymous Twitter user lodged a complaint over the four-year-old post.
"In present case no justification to keep him in continued detention and subject him to an endless round of proceedings in various courts,” the court said. Police in Uttar Pradesh state later charged him in a separate case for using the term "hatemongers” for three Hindu monks who made inflammatory comments about Muslims, with at least one calling for “genocide” of the minority community.
Activists, journalists and opposition politicians decried Zubair's arrest as the latest example of shrinking media freedom under Modi’s government.
