Delhi Police moves SC against HC bail to Pinjra Tod activists

JNU students were booked under UAPA in connection with last year riots in protest against CAA

The Delhi Police on Wednesday appealed to the Supreme Court against the grant of bail to JNU students Devangana Kalita, Natasha Narwal and Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha, who were booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with last year Delhi riots in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). The overnight move to approach the top court came after the Delhi High Court made particularly sharp observations in its order, accusing the government of blurring the line between rightful dissent and terrorism.
