SC Stays Multiple FIRs Filed By Mamata Banerjee Led Bengal Government Against OpIndia

The Supreme Court on Friday (26 June) stayed multiple FIRs which were filed by the Mamata Banerjee led West Bengal government against the editors of OpIndia.

Nupur J Sharma the editor of OpIndia.com took to Twitter to state that her husband, OpIndia Hindi editor Ajeet Bharti and OpIndia CEO Rahul Roushan were also made a party in the FIRs.

Calling it a malicious act by the West Bengal government, Nupur added that she and her husband were interrogated by the cops for hours.

Nupur added that while her husband is not associated with OpIndia, a case was still filed against him under sections like 153A just because she used a phone number registered under his name.

"I have always had utmost faith in the process of law and that justice prevails for those who side with Dharma. SC has upheld my faith", Nupur wrote in a tweet.

She also thanked noted lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani who made a pro bono appearance in the Supreme Court to argue OpIndia's case. Nupur has assured that she will reveal full details of the FIR in the future.
