The Morning Standard
|December 04, 2024
THE Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted interim protection from arrest to human rights activist Nadeem Khan, who was booked by the Delhi Police on charges of promoting enmity and criminal conspiracy over a video that went viral on social media.
Justice Jasmeet Singh directed that Khan, the national secretary of the Association for the Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), would not be arrested till December 6.
The court, however, instructed Khan to cooperate with the investigation, join the probe on Wednesday and not leave the national capital without the permission from the investigating officer. The FIR registered against Khan on November 30 alleged that the APCR set up a stall at an exhibition where a video was recorded and later uploaded on YouTube.
