Original Note:
Misleading. Police obtained Purkayastha's remand without giving his lawyer grounds of arrest as mandated by law. https://lawbeat.in/top-stories/supreme-court-questions-delhi-police-haste-arrest-prabir-purkayastha Supreme Court naturally held the arrest illegal. https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/supreme-court-newsclick-prabir-purkayastha-uapa-arrest-remand-judgment-257956 Police filed 8000 pages of charges which NewsClick dismissed as "absurd" & "baseless". Trial yet to commence https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/cops-cite-links-with-lashkar-shaheen-bagh-stir-newsclick-says-absurd-9299965/
