A Delhi court has granted bail to Supreme Court lawyer and former BJP spokesperson Ashwini Upadhyay, who was arrested in connection with alleged inflammatory and anti-Muslim slogans raised at Jantar Mantar. The court held that “there is nothing on record to show that the alleged hate speech to promote enmity between different groups was done in the presence or at the behest of the applicant/accused.” However, Delhi Police opposed the bail application and told the court that Upadhyay was a speaker at the event and whether he was present during the time of sloganeering is under investigation.
