NewsClick Editor Moves Delhi HC to Quash UAPA FIR

NewsClick editor-in-chief, Prabir Purkayastha, and human resources head, Amit Chakravarty, have filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking to quash the FIR registered against them by Delhi Police’s special cell under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The FIR alleges that they received money for pro-China propaganda.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal presented their plea before the bench led by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Sibal urged the bench, which also included Justice Sanjeev Narula, to expedite the listing of the plea, emphasizing that the arrests made in the NewsClick case were conducted unlawfully. The court agreed to hear the matter today.

This situation is evolving, and further developments are expected.
