Alt News cofounder Mohammed Zubair was arrested because, if you’re to believe Republic’s Arnab Goswami, he is a “Hindu hater” who “uses his social media handle repeatedly to insult Hindu divinities and Hindu gods”.
This was part of Goswami’s tirade on primetime last night, soon after Zubair was arrested by the Delhi police on the basis of a four-year-old tweet. Zubair, who is currently in police custody, was charged for purportedly hurting religious sentiments and promoting enmity.
