Mohammed Zubair got interim bail from the Supreme Court on Friday, but the Alt News cofounder will stay in custody. In a separate case, the court provided Zee News anchor Rohit Ranjan protection from coercive police action.
Giving Zubair five-day interim bail in a hate speech case registered by the Uttar Pradesh police in Sitapur, a vacation bench of the top court set a slew of conditions, including that the journalist must not tweet.
