New Delhi: The Supreme Court directed the state police not to take any coercive action against three members of the civil society in the FIR case filed against them under the strict UAPA rules for posting on social media about "targeted violence" against the minority community in Tripura on Wednesday. A journalist's name appears among these civil society individuals.

On a plea filed by lawyers Mukesh and Ansarul Haque and journalist Shyam Meera Singh, a bench of Chief Justice NV Ramanna, Justices AS Bopanna and Justice Hima Kohli sent notice to Agartala police. Under the UAPA, police have filed a FIR against them.

The constitutional legality of some provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 is also being challenged by members of civil society who are members of the Committee on Finding Facts of the Incident. He has contested the rules, claiming that the definition of "illegal activity" is too broad and unclear, and that it makes it impossible for accused people to receive bail. Let us inform you that fire, looting, and violence have lately occurred in the North Eastern State. The violence erupted after reports from Bangladesh that Hindu minority in Bangladesh had been assaulted for making blasphemy claims during Durga Puja.
