New Delhi: Chief metropolitan magistrate Snigdha Sarvaria added that Zubair's mobile phone or laptop used by him for posting the tweet was to be recovered from his Bengaluru residence.
Zubair told the court the tweet was posted in 2018 and he had used an image from a Hindi film. He said he was being targeted because he challenges powerful people.
From 2018 to 2022, tweets have not created a flutter'
New Delhi: Describing the case based on an image from a Hindi movie against Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair as bordering on "absurdity", his counsel Vrinda Grover told a Delhi court on Tuesday that the police had called Zubair for questioning in some other case but arrested him in the present case “in haste”.
Grover told the court that many others had tweeted the same, and the "only difference between those Twitter handles and his was his faith, his name and his profession".
The police had on June 27 arrested Zubair for allegedly hurting religious sentiments following a complaint by a social media user who referred to a tweet from 2018. The complainant in the case goes by the Twitter name, Hanuman Bhakt, with an image of Lord Hanuman as his profile photo.
