Nation's Harmony Not So Fragile': Delhi HC Grants Interim Protection To Human Rights Activist Nadeem Khan Booked For 'Promoting Enmity'

The Delhi High Court rejected the bail plea of activist Nadeem Khan, accused of promoting enmity and inciting public unrest through his speech. The court emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, particularly in a sensitive communal context. It noted that the speech’s contents, prima facie, appeared inflammatory and capable of disrupting societal harmony.
