Allahabad High Court Denies Bail to Maulana Tauqeer Raza in Bareilly Violence Case
The Allahabad High Court rejected the bail plea of Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, accused in the September 2025 Bareilly violence linked to the 'I Love Muhammad' campaign. The court ruled that the slogan 'Sar Tan Se Juda' incites armed rebellion and challenges India's sovereignty, distinguishing it from religious chants like 'Jai Shri Ram' or 'Allahu Akbar'. Raza was accused of mobilizing a crowd despite prohibitory orders, leading to clashes with police and property damage. Bail was denied as charges remain unframed.
