Allahabad High Court extends stay on Mohammed Zubair's arrest till January 27

The Allahabad High Court on Thursday extended the stay on Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair's arrest till January 27 in the Yati Narsinghanand 'X' post case.

An FIR lodged by the Ghaziabad Police in November 21, 2024, accused Zubair of promoting enmity between religious groups following a complaint by an associate of controversial priest Yati Narsinghanand.

A complaint was lodged by one Udita Tyagi, general secretary of the Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati Trust, alleged that Zubair posted a video clip of an old programme of Narsinghanand on October 3, 2024 with the intent to provoke violence by Muslims against him.
