Aman Chopra
Jodhpur: The Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday stayed the arrest of News18 journalist Aman Chopra, who was booked by the state police over a TV debate on the demolition of a temple by civic authorities in the Alwar district.
The matter will next be heart on Wednesday before the high court’s Jodhpur bench, PTI reported.
This comes after Aman Chopra earlier obtained a stay on his arrest from the court’s Jaipur bench in the cases registered against him in Bundi and Alwar districts, but faced arrest in connection with a similar FIR filed in Dungarpur.
A team of the Rajasthan Police team had camped in Noida, neighbouring Delhi, in a bid to arrest him in connection with the third FIR, the news agency reported.
Justice Dinesh Mehta stayed his arrest in connection with the complaint filed against him at Bichhiwada police station in Dungarpur district. Special Public Prosecutor Vinit Jain argued before the court that the petitioner’s apprehension over his arrest was misplaced and pleaded against the stay.
Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra appeared for Aman Chopra. He was assisted by Advocates Mrinal Bharti and Achintya Kaushik.
Police said Chopra was booked under Sections 124-A (sedition), 295-A (acts intended to outrage religious feelings), 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Indian Penal Code, and the Information Technology Act. The FIRs accused Aman Chopra of giving false details suggesting that the demolition of a temple in Alwar district’s Rajgarh town was carried out by the Rajasthan government in retaliation for the demolitions in Delhi. While Rajasthan is run by a Congress government, the Rajgarh municipality is controlled by the BJP. The two parties had hurled charges against each other after the demolitions.
