Delhi Court Denies Anticipatory Bail to Ajeet Bharti in SC-ST Act Case
A Delhi court denied anticipatory bail to reservation activist and YouTuber Ajeet Bharti in a case under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The court found Bharti's remarks against Dalit leader Chandrashekhar Azad, suggesting he must prove himself worthy of marrying an upper-caste woman, to be caste-based and humiliating. While the court noted the comments violated the SC-ST Act, it also observed the incident appeared spontaneous and did not require custodial interrogation.
