A Delhi court on Saturday allowed the police to withdraw prosecution against former JNU student leader Shehla Rashid in a 2019 sedition case over her tweets about the Indian Army, as per ANI. Rashid had alleged in an August 18, 2019 tweet that Army personnel tortured four men in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, an allegation strongly refuted by the Army as “baseless and unverified.” The Delhi Police had registered a sedition case against her in September 2019, based on a complaint by Supreme Court lawyer Alakh Alok Srivastava. In 2023, Delhi LG VK Saxena sanctioned her prosecution, citing seriousness of allegations. However, the court has now permitted the case’s withdrawal, effectively bringing the legal proceedings against Rashid to an end.
