Delhi HC says spreading radical ideology on social media is within the ambit of UAPA

The Delhi High Court ruled that using social media to disseminate radical ideology, even if there is no physical act of terror, can attract UAPA provisions while declining a bail plea of an operative of “The Resistance Front (TRF)”, a terror outfit.

The High Court noted that the accused, Arsalan Feroze Ahenger, posted pictures of terrorists and incited people to commit heinous crimes and, if released, there would be a possibility of him tampering with the evidence as he is digitally adept.
