Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the release of NewsClick founder and Editor-in-Chief Prabir Purkayastha in UAPA case. Purkayastha had approached the Supreme Court challenging his arrest under UAPA over Chinese funding to promote anti-national propaganda.
A bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice Sandeep said, "Arrest, subsequent remand order of NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha are declared to be invalid in eyes of law."
