Journalist Siddique Kappan not to be released from jail until he gets bail in PMLA case: Uttar Pradesh authorities

LUCKNOW: A local court on Monday issued the order for release of Kerala-based journalist Siddique Kappan who has been lodged in jail since October 2020 after he was arrested on his way to report a rape and murder case in Hathras district. However, Lucknow jail authorities said that Kappan is yet to be let off as he has to also obtain a bail in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case.

Uttar Pradesh Police had arrested Kappan, along with three co-accused – Athikurrehman, Alam and Masood – on October 5, 2020, under various sections of the IPC, UAPA and the IT Act.
