On Monday, the High Court of Madhya Pradesh rejected the bail appeal of a man arrested on Dec 4 for allegedly “outraging religious feelings” by morphing & posting a picture of UP CM Yogi Adityanath.
Akash Sharma, a Govt Lawyer, said Judge Rohit Arya rejected Sameer Chhepa’s plea saying Adityanath is not only a Chief Minister but also a saint. “The accused hurt the religious sentiments by insulting a saint,” said Sharma.
Chhepa has been booked under IPC’s Section 295 (A) (deliberate & malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) & under the Information Technology Act.
