Allahabad HC Seeks Response on Journalist Satyam Verma's NSA Detention Petition
The Allahabad High Court has sought responses from the Centre, Uttar Pradesh government, and local authorities on journalist Satyam Verma's habeas corpus petition challenging his preventive detention under the National Security Act related to the April 2026 Noida workers' protest. Verma contests his detention, citing evidence placing him elsewhere during the violence and challenges reliance on statements made in police custody. The court has deferred bail hearings, with the next hearing scheduled for October 7. Verma remains in custody amid multiple cases and NSA charges.
