Delhi Police relied on trimmed video clip tweeted by BJP leader for FIR, says Umar Khalid in court https://scroll.in/latest/1003523/delhi-police-relied-on-video-clip-tweeted-by-bjp-leader-for-fir-says-umar-khalid-in-court
The court was hearing Khalid’s bail application in connection with an FIR lodged under the provisions of UAPA in the Delhi riots conspiracy case.
Senior Advocate Trideep Pais, appearing for Khalid said that he wrote to News18 and Republic TV seeking the raw footage of the speech they had aired on the channels. In response, News18 said that it did not have the raw footage and was taken from a tweet of a Bharatiya Janata Party leader.
Republic TV said that the source of the video was BJP’s Information Technology Cell head Amit Malviya, Pais told the court. “It is [a case of] copying the tweet from a politician and placing it as your own news item,” Pais argued.
