The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Tripura police not to take any coercive action against the three civil society members, including a journalist, in connection with an FIR lodged under the harsh UAPA provisions against them for allegedly bringing facts through social media posts about “targeted violence” against the minority community in the state.
A bench comprising Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices A S Bopanna and Hima Kohli also issued a notice to the Agartala police on the plea filed by advocates Mukesh and Ansarul Haq and journalist Shyam Meera Singh against lodging of the FIR.
