NEW DELHI, India \u2013 June 28 (ONLINE) Authorities in India’s capital city of New Delhi on Monday arrested Muslim journalist Mohammed Zubair for a 2018 tweet that allegedly hurt religious sentiments and promoted enmity. <\/p>\n

Zubair, who is the co-founder of fact-checking website Alt News, has been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.<\/p>\n

He also routinely calls out hate speech by Hindu fringe groups on the internet and writes about the marginalization of India’s Muslim minority.
\nAlt News co-founder Pratik Sinha said Zubair was arrested illegally and was being held by Delhi Police.<\/p>\n

While the police sought to keep him in custody for seven days, judicial authorities allowed only one day in custody, directing them to produce Zubair in front of a magistrate later on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Indian media reported that Zubair was arrested after a Twitter user filed a complaint against the fact-checker.<\/p>\n

Zubair is accused of violating the country’s law on religious harmony in a tweet he wrote in 2018 concerning the renaming of a hotel after the Hindu god Hanuman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
