Supreme Court Grants Bail to NewsClick Founder Amidst Controversy Over UAPA Arrest Procedures

Prabir Purkayastha, founder of the web portal NewsClick, was arrested under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for allegedly receiving funds from Chinese firms, leading to a legal battle over the legality of his arrest. The Supreme Court ordered his release on bail, criticizing authorities for not providing grounds for his arrest and remand. The court referenced a previous case to emphasize the necessity of communicating arrest grounds. Purkayastha's legal team argued that proper sanctions were not obtained before filing charges. The Delhi Police defended their actions, stating that arrest grounds were communicated in the remand application. The case highlights the importance of due process in handling serious charges under anti-terror laws.
