Allahabad High Court Quashes NSA Detention of Activist in Noida Workers' Protest
The Allahabad High Court quashed the National Security Act detention of 25-year-old activist Aakriti Chaudhary, held for nearly five months related to the April Noida workers' protest. The court found procedural lapses and deemed the state's case against her based on a fabricated account. While Chaudhary was ordered released, she remains in jail due to other pending cases. The protests involved thousands of workers demanding higher wages and turned violent, leading to multiple arrests and NSA charges against Chaudhary and another activist.
