Allahabad High Court extends stay on Mohammed Zubair’s arrest
New Delhi: The Allahabad High Court has extended the stay on the arrest of Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair until February 17 in connection with a case related to his post about Yati Narsinghanand.
The bench of Justice Siddharth Verma and Justice Yogendra Kumar Srivastava issued this order.
An FIR was registered against Zubair by the Ghaziabad police in October 2024 based on a complaint by Yati Narsinghanand’s associates, accusing him of promoting enmity between religious groups.
Challenging the FIR, Zubair approached the High Court, which had orally observed on December 20 that he was not involved in a serious offence and had granted protection from arrest until January 6.
The complaint against Zubair was filed by Dr Udita Tyagi, the General Secretary of the Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati Trust.
