MP: High Court Quashes NSA Charge Against Man Over Muharram Event

Madhya Pradesh High Court has asked the state government to release former corporator Usman Patel (60) booked under National Security Act. Patel, along with 3 others, was detained for allegedly provoking Muslim community folks to participate in Muharram procession, violating COVID-19 guidelines. Quashing the order of Indore's District Magistrate, the court said that the official's judgment was based on "media trials" by some Hindi dailies, and was unfair.
