The Delhi police on Monday arrested Mohammed Zubair for allegedly disturbing religious harmony. The arrest comes less than a week after Twitter received a request from the Narendra Modi government claiming that Alt News co-founder’s account violated Indian laws.
The police’s Special Cell called the journalist for investigation in a 2020 case, only to arrest him under new charges, said Pratik Sinha, the other co-founder of Alt News who was with him.
