Neha Singh Rathore's Statement Deferred
A folk singer named Neha Singh Rathore was supposed to give her statement to the police about a post she made on social media regarding a terror attack in Pahalgam.
However, the police officer who was supposed to take her statement wasn't available, so it was postponed.
The Supreme Court had earlier given her protection from being arrested.
The post was about the terror attack that happened last year in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists.
The complainant, Abhay Pratap Singh, accused her of targeting certain political leaders and creating religious tension.
The singer says she was wrongly accused and is facing charges under various laws, including the Information Technology Act.
Neha Singh Rathore's statement recording was deferred due to the unavailability of the investigating officer.
The Supreme Court granted interim protection from arrest to Rathore in a case related to her social media post on the Pahalgam terror attack.
The post allegedly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the BJP.
The Allahabad High Court had earlier rejected Rathore's anticipatory bail plea.
The FIR was registered against Rathore on April 27, 2023, and the investigation is ongoing.
