Bombay High Court Quashes Case Against Pune Student Over Operation Sindoor Instagram Post
The Bombay High Court quashed a criminal case against a 20-year-old Pune engineering student arrested for reposting a controversial Instagram post related to Operation Sindoor. The court noted her limited role in reposting, prompt deletion of the post, expression of remorse, and the lasting impact of custody. It emphasized the need for sensitivity regarding religious sentiments but found insufficient evidence of criminal intent or communal disturbance. The student had also been rusticated by her college, a decision later challenged in court.
