The Uttar Pradesh police have issued a warrant for Alt News cofounder Mohammed Zubair, hours after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in another case registered in UP’s Sitapur. Zubair is accused of promoting enmity between two religious groups through a tweet he made last year.
Last year, a case had been registered against the fact-checker at Mohammadi police station. According to the News Minute, the case was filed by Ashish Kumar Katiyar, who is associated with Sudarshan News. Katiyar had accused Zubair of spreading false news on Twitter to disturb communal harmony.
