Today, On 16th October, the Kerala High Court stayed BJP state chief K. Surendran’s discharge in an election bribery case, responding to the state government’s appeal against a lower court’s ruling. Surendran faces accusations of intimidating a rival in the 2021 Manjeshwaram election. Further proceedings are postponed until November 8.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed Mohammad Bilal’s plea to quash an FIR for allegedly making offensive remarks about Lord Ram and Hinduism on Instagram. Despite claiming his account was hacked, the court found his defense unconvincing. The case will proceed for further investigation under relevant laws.
