The Allahabad High Court has granted bail to a man who was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh police last year for allegedly putting up a post on Instagram with the phrase “I Love Muhammad”.
Justice Rajiv Lochan Shukla observed on Monday while granting bail to the accused, Nadeem, that the “applicant does not have any criminal antecedents” and the post “does not name any particular caste or community”.
The accused, who was jailed on October 7 last year, had moved the court seeking bail in connection with an FIR registered at a police station in Muzaffarnagar. His counsel argued that he was falsely implicated in the case and the trial was unlikely to conclude in the near future.
