Hubli sedition case: Court rejects bail application of Kashmiri students

Hubli: The bail application of three Kashmiri students, who were booked for sedition, after their video allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans, went viral was rejected by the Hubli court.

The plea was filed under Section 439 of CrPC. This comes after the Hubli Bar Association earlier withdrew its resolution against representing the three Kashmiri students and said that advocates who wish to appear for them can approach Dharwad Principal District Court to file bail plea.

The three students are Basit Ashik Sophi (19), Talib Majid (19) and Amir Mohiuddin (23). They were booked under sedition charges for raising pro-Pakistan slogan in a video shared on social media.
