MEERUT: Bulandshahr district court approved sedition charges against 36 accused in the 2018 Siyana violence case. The incident, which occurred due to rumours of cow slaughter, led to the brutal death of a police inspector and a civilian.
Main-accused Yogesh Raj, a Bajrang Dal member, has been in jail ever since the Supreme Court stayed the Allahabad high court's order granting him bail. The apex court had said it "can't let lynching over cow slaughter go on."
