India's top court grants bail to Muslim journalist accused of insulting Hindus
Muslim journalist Mohammed Zubair has been freed from jail on the order of India's Supreme Court after he was detained last month for allegedly insulting religious beliefs on social media.
Zubair -- co-founder of fact-checking website Alt News, which debunks misinformation in the Indian media -- was arrested by Delhi police on June 27 after a Twitter user accused him of insulting Hindus in a 2018 post about the renaming of a hotel after a Hindu god.
Zubair had already been granted bail for the case in Delhi but had remained in custody after several police complaints were filed against him in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh in June and July over separate social media posts. read more
