Hearing the bail plea of Alt News cofounder Mohammed Zubair, who was arrested last month in connection with a case filed in the national capital over a 2018 tweet, a Delhi court Thursday asked why the statement of the “victim” was not recorded.
“We don’t go by tweets, we go by the CrPC,” Additional Sessions Judge Devender Kumar Jangala of the Patiala House Courts told Special Public Prosecutor Atul Shrivastava as the latter pointed to tweets and retweets. The SPP then said the statement will be recorded during the course of the investigation.
