PoliticsSC Quashes NSA Detention of Sambhal Violence Accused
The Supreme Court quashed the National Security Act detention of Mulla Afroz, accused in the 2024 Sambhal violence, and imposed a ₹10 lakh cost on the Uttar Pradesh government. Afroz was jailed for 20 months before the verdict. The court ruled that a police confession alone cannot justify preventive detention. Afroz's brother welcomed the decision and called for an impartial investigation.
