Brief Facts : On 5th April 2021 the accused had posted a Facebook post stating that “A person who draws salary for his service cannot be considered to be a martyr/swahid if he dies on duty. If it is so, then, an electrical worker who dies in an electric shock should also be considered as Swahid. News media, do not make the public emotional.” This was after 22 jawans were killed during anti naxal operation in Chattisghar on 3rd April. An FIR was filed against her under section 124A.
Summary : The court granted her bail stating that the statement prima facie appears to be her personal views. It was also held that due to the second wave of covid 19 further continuation of her detention may not be necessary in the interest of ongoing investigation.
