Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair has moved a bail application in sessions court at the Patiala House courts, seeking bail in the case related to an "objectionable tweet" allegedly posted by him against a Hindu deity.

The plea will be heard on July 12. On July 2, Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Snigdha Sarvaria at the Patiala House Courts rejected the bail plea of Zubair in connection with the case and granted his 14-day custody as sought by the Delhi Police.
