The Supreme Court has again pulled up the Delhi Police over its probe into a hate speech case in which Sudarshan News editor Suresh Chavhanke is an accused, Live Law reported. The court noted that there has been “no arrest”, “no chargesheet” and “no palpable progress” even eight months after the FIR was lodged last year.
In April last year, the court had slammed a police affidavit clearing Chavhanke of hate speech – for administering a controversial oath at a Hindu Yuva Vahini event in Delhi in December, 2021 – paving the way for an FIR next month for promoting religious enmity.
