The Allahabad High Court Yesterday (Dec 20) provided interim protection from arrest to Alt News journalist Mohammed Zubair, who is facing charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). While the Court noted that the allegations under Section 196 BNS (promoting enmity between different groups) appeared to be largely supported by the FIR, it stated that the applicability of Section 152 BNS (endangering the sovereignty and integrity of the nation) warranted further examination.
