The Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court gave relief to Sadaqat Khan and Nalim Yadav, who were involved in organising a comedy show during which Faruqui allegedly insulted Hindu deities.
The five men arrested from an Indore cafe for 'offensive jokes' are Faruqui, Prakhar Vyas, Edwin Anthony, Nalin Yadav, and Sadaqat Khan. Yadav and Khan are still in prison.
Court also dismisses plea of co-accused Nalin and says prima facie it appears duo made ‘scurrilous, disparaging utterances’ to ‘outrage religious feelings of a class of citizens’.
Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested by Madhya Pradesh Police on 1 January for allegedly making 'indecent remarks' about Hindu deities and Home Minister Amit Shah.
These registrations pertain to the Indian Air Force's Agniveer Vayu programme. The online portal for the first phase was opened at 10 am Friday, and will close on 5 July.
Modi govt's biggest flaw has been its disinclination to accept limitations of electoral majorities. This ruined land acquisition and farm reform, stalled labour codes.
