The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the bail granted by the Madras High Court to eight men booked under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), reported news agency ANI. The eight were booked under UAPA for being members of banned Popular Front of India (PFI) and having conspired to commit terrorist acts across the country.

A two bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Pankaj Mithal cancelled their bail stating that the allegations of collecting funds to commit terrorist acts against them appeared to be 'prima facie true'.
