Police Register Case Against Aakar Patel for Tweet

'A case has been registered against the former executive director of human rights advocacy group Amnesty International Aakar Patel on June 5 for posting “offensive” content on social media, which allegedly sought to instigate a section of people against the government. The case was registered on Tuesday following a complaint by the police inspector of JC Nagar police station alleging that the twitter post by Patel was “offensive.” Referring to the protests in cities across the US following the death of an African American man in police custody, Patel in a tweet on May 31 said, “We need protests like these from Dalits, Muslims, Adivasis, poor and women. The world will notice. Protest is a craft.”...'
