Zubair received Rs 50 lakhs in last three months, likely to be taken to Bengaluru: Delhi Police

Delhi Police on Tuesday claimed that they have evidence against Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair that he received Rs 50 lakhs in his bank account in the last three months.

Police said they are investigating the source of the funding and might take him to Bengaluru on Wednesday to recover his laptop.

Earlier in the day, a city court extended by four days the custodial interrogation of Zubair, a day after he was arrested by the Delhi police over an objectionable tweet he had posted in 2018 against a Hindu deity.

As calls grow for the immediate release of the journalist, the Delhi Police claimed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Snigdha Sarvaria that the accused was following a trend where he used religious tweets in an effort to get famous.

This was a deliberate effort on his part to create social disharmony and hurt religious feelings, the police alleged. The accused, however, alleged that the police is abusing its power and wanted a "fishing enquiry".

China challenge hangs like a dark cloud but India will increasingly strive to be a rule shaper, not rule taker

On Tuesday, while dedicating to the nation 24 new bridges and three new roads built by the Border Roads Organization in areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh said “in today’s uncertain environment, the possibility of any kind of conflict cannot be ruled out.”  His reference to China wasn’t to be missed. These infrastructural developments are mostly girding India’s border regions with Beijing. One of these roads, the Chisumle-Demchok Road in eastern Ladakh, the world’s highest motorable road, is built at an altitude of more than 19,000 feet. The Chinese have built so-called “civilian settlements” in the disputed region over which India also claims sovereign control, and Demchok has seen frequent clashes between troops in the past. In this regard, Singh’s pointed remarks are worth noting: “Infrastructure development in border areas also strengthens our strategic capabilities. As we mo...
