Another co-founder of the media Alt News Mohammad Zubair has already been arrested for allegedly hurting religious sentiments on Twitter. He has been in the custody of Delhi police for the past five days before pleading for his bail to Patiala House Court today. However, his bail plea has been rejected by the court and he has been sent to 14 days of judicial custody. The Delhi police registered an FIR on Mr. Zubair for posting tweets in 2018 vilifying a Hindu deity.
