NEW DELHI: Today, 20th March, The Supreme Court of India has strongly criticized the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police for misusing the anti-conversion law in an alleged rape case. The court questioned the fairness of the state authorities and raised concerns over the arbitrary application of the Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, led by Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Mohd FA Khan, denied bail to former UP minister Gayatri Prasad Prajapati, who is serving a life sentence for gang rape. His appeal against conviction followed a 2017 Supreme Court directive leading to his arrest.
