A Delhi court has pardoned Amit Chakravarty, who has claimed he is in possession of "material information", sources said.
A Delhi court has allowed NewsClick's human resources department chief Amit Chakravarty to turn an approver in the case lodged against the news portal under anti-terror law UAPA over allegations that it received money to spread pro-China propaganda, court sources said on Tuesday.
Special Judge Hardeep Kaur pardoned Mr Chakravarty, arrested in the case, on an application he moved recently seeking the court's permission to turn an approver, a move that could spell trouble for NewsClick's editor-in-chief and founder Prabir Purkayastha.
Mr Chakravarty also claimed he was in possession of "material information" about the case which he was willing to disclose to the Delhi Police.
