The Delhi police has moved court to protect the identities of five “potential witnesses” against news outlet NewsClick and its founder Prabir Purkayastha in the UAPA case, Indian Express reported. Their statements were recorded under section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure earlier this month.
The investigation officer in the case moved the application before a Patiala House court after recording the statements, the report said. It cited an unnamed source as saying that the application was moved as the case was “sensitive” and had “international ramifications”
