On Thursday, July 7, Zubair was produced before a Sitapur court for allegedly inciting religious sentiments through his tweet. The court remanded Zubair to 14-day judicial custody. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear his plea tomorrow after challenging the Allahabad High Court's order refusing to quash the FIR lodged against him.
Mohammed Zubair was arrested by the Delhi Police on Monday, June 27, on charges of hurting religious sentiments and inciting riots. After his arrest, he has been produced before a Delhi court. The court had rejected the bail application of Mohammed Zubair while granting one-day custody to the Delhi Police.
