The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday quashed an FIR lodged against "The Wire" editor Siddharth Varadarajan and another journalist over a news report on a man who died during the farmers' protest in Delhi last year.

The FIR was lodged over a report in the news portal -- and Varadarajan's tweets "- giving the version of the family of Rampur farmer Navreet Singh Dibdiba, who died when protesters took out an unauthorised tractor rally on January 26, 2021.
