Mohammed Zubair: Top Indian fact-checker in court for post calling out hate speech

70% Informative
Mohammed Zubair is wanted in connection with a post he put out on X spotlighting hate speech by a controversial Hindu priest.
The post included a video that showed Yati Narsinghanand delivering comments against Prophet Muhammad that many Muslims found hurtful.
The charge is non-bailable and a conviction could mean a minimum of seven years in jail or life imprisonment.
Digipub, an association of digital media organisations, condemned the “escalating harassment” of Zubair .
The government had faced similar criticism in 2022 when Zubair was arrested and spent more than three weeks in jail before the Supreme Court freed him on bail.
Delhi police had arrested him over a 2018 tweet which was a screengrab from a Bollywood film.
