Supreme Court orders interim release of YouTuber Savukku Shankar from preventive detention

The Supreme Court has ordered the interim release of YouTuber Savukku Shankar from preventive detention. Shankar was detained under the Goondas Act for allegedly making defamatory statements against a public official. The Court's decision came after Shankar's counsel argued that the preventive detention order was passed without considering his defense and was based solely on statements made against the official. The interim release allows Shankar to seek regular bail from the appropriate forum. This case highlights issues of free speech and procedural fairness in preventive detention matters.
