New Delhi, 9/9: The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan who was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh government in October 2020 on his way to Hathras where a Dalit woman had died after allegedly being gang-raped.
He was booked by the State government under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The Uttar Pradesh government had told the apex court that Kappan had deep links with the PFI and was part of a larger conspiracy to “incite religious discord and spread terror”.
