“Mohammed Zubair was produced in the court of the Mohammadi additional chief judicial magistrate through video conferencing.” 

Lakhimpur Kheri: The co-founder of Alt News, Mohammed Zubair, was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Lakhimpur Kheri court in Uttar Pradesh in a case filed against him in September last year. The court will hear Zubair’s bail plea on July 13.

Mohammed Zubair was presented before the court via video conferencing from Sitapur jail and sections 153B, 505(1) (B), and 505(2) were added to the FIR against him. Zubair was arrested by Delhi Police in June for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through one of his tweets.

“Mohammed Zubair was produced in the court of the Mohammadi additional chief judicial magistrate through video conferencing. The prosecution had sought police custody, a plea countered by Zubair’s counsel. The court sent him to 14-day judicial custody,” Assistant Prosecuting Officer Avadhesh Yadav said.

“The court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Mohammadi in Kheri district has issued the warrant against Mohd Zubair, which was served by Kheri police on Friday,” Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Arun Kumar Singh was quoted saying  by news agency PTI on Saturday,

Earlier, the Supreme Court had on Friday granted interim bail to Mohammed Zubair in a case registered by the Uttar Pradesh Police.

However, Zubair would continue to remain in custody because of a case filed by the Delhi Police which had initially arrested him over charges of hurting religious sentiments.

However, the PIB fact check, which counters misinformation on government policies and schemes rubbished the claims.

BJP Leader Subramanian Swamy on Monday took a Dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The former Rajya Sabha MP tweeted an image that said: “India is now 164th fastest growing nation in the world, among 193 countries.”

“From 3rd largest economy in 2011 to 164th in 2021,” the image said.

However, the PIB fact check, which counters misinformation on government policies and schemes, rubbished the claim.

Claim: India slips to the 164th rank in the list of the fastest-growing nations in 2021, from being the third-largest economy in 2011. #PIBFactCheck .This claim is #Fake.  India is the 3rd largest economy in terms of PPP.” The fact-checking body tweeted attaching the viral image.

There have been many instances when Subramanian Swamy has criticized the BJP.  Last month, when the Agnipath Military Recruitment scheme protests had intensified and turned violent the, BJP MP had said: “Rest of India today is looking like Kashmir. We had instead wanted Kashmir to look like the rest of India. Has Amit Shah as Home Minister any clue about a solution? If the situation does not come under control in the next 48 hours, should Shah remain as HM? Modi’s call.”
