Preet Singh, who was remanded to judicial custody on 10 August, is accused of inciting people to propagate hate against a particular religion at a rally in Delhi on 8 August.
Preet Singh, who has been accused of 'raising' anti-Muslim slogans at Jantar Mantar, told Delhi High Court that he won't press for bail if the court held a contrary opinion.
Bhupinder Tomar's counsel submitted that his client was granted interim protection by the trial court and that he was not the one who was shouting the objectionable slogans.
Police said the accused, Uttam Upadhyaya, was present at Jantar Mantar on 8 August. His arrest took the total number of detentions in the case to eight.
While dismissing bail plea of Hindu Rakshak Dal president Pinky Chaudhary, the court said India is not a Taliban state and rule of law is its sacrosanct governing principle.
Sushil Tiwari, head of Hindu Army, one of the Right-wing groups that took part in Jantar Mantar event, says over 30 WhatsApp groups were involved, accuses BJP member & SC lawyer Ashwini Upadhyay of 'betrayal'.
Delhi court metropolitan magistrate granted relief to Ashwini Upadhyay on a bond of Rs 50,000 & said that there was nothing against him in the alleged anti-Muslim sloganeering video.
Around 100 people had gathered near Jantar Mantar to protest the communal slogans raised at a rally over the weekend but many were detained by police from entering the site.

Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
