NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court recently held a hearing over a dispute concerning the burial of a Christian man from a Scheduled Tribe (ST) community in his family’s native village burial ground. The case sparked heated arguments between Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the State of Chhattisgarh, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, who appeared for the petitioner, Ramesh Bhaghel.
Delhi Police opposed Nadeem Khan’s plea, citing risks to communal harmony due to his social media actions. They argue he spreads misleading narratives that instigate unrest and threaten unity. The Delhi High Court granted him interim protection from arrest while emphasizing cooperation in the investigation, highlighting the importance of maintaining national harmony.
