A group of 72 former civil servants has sought Attorney General K.K. Venugopal’s intervention to advise the government to check the witch hunt of people exercising their right to free speech by the police.
In a letter to the country's top law officer, the ex-bureaucrats highlighted the continued detention and deprivation of personal civil liberties of Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair.
“We have been watching with dismay the cynical over-zealousness of not just the law enforcement agencies but also the law officers under you to manufacture cases day after day to deliberately deprive individuals, identified as inconvenient by the government, of their basic freedoms,” the letter said.
