โGujarat Independent MLA Jignesh Mevani who was arrested by Assam Police was granted bail yesterday. He got the bail at a court in Assamโs Barpeta district. Mevani was arrested from Palanpur in Gujarat by a team of Assam Police officials in connection with a case registered against him for his tweets asking PM Modi to appeal for peace. Thatโs quite ironic. People are getting cases against them for asking the leader of the country to appeal for peace. Well, he did receive bail from a Kokrajhar court. But, within a few hours of getting bail, he was re-arrested by Assam Police. What was the charge? that Jignesh Mevani allegedly assaulted a female police official. This case was filed in Barpeta districts on a complaint by a woman police officer who accused him of โassaultingโ her and โoutraging her modestyโ.
The court yesterday granted him bail, but it did have some questions for the police. And in fact, the court pulled up the state police saying that they filed a โโFalse FIRโโ and for โabusing the process of the court and the lawโ. Not only that, the court went a step further and warned the police against โconverting our hard-earned democracy into a police stateโ.
Now today, in this video, we will talk about what the court said.
And then We will also talk about CJI NV Ramanaโs statement on the Action or inactions of govt in following law. You can watch the entire video on HW News Youtube channel, but all the same.
