In a major relief to Uttar Pradesh's Dr Kafeel Khan, arrested and charged under the tough National Security Act, the Allahabad High Court on Tuesday directed the government to immediately release him. Hearing a petition filed by Dr Kafeel Khan's mother, the Allahabad High Court revoked the NSA charges against the Gorakhpur doctor arrested earlier this year for anti-CAA speech. Dr Kafeel Khan was in February booked under the stringent National Security Act (NSA) over his alleged anti-CAA speech at Aligarh Muslim University on December 12, 2019. In January, Dr Kafeel Khan was arrested by the UP Special Task Force from Mumbai for participating anti-CAA protest at AMU. A case was also registered against him for promoting enmity between different religions.
