Last week, the Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested Pinjra Tod activist Natasha Narwal and booked her under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for alleged conspiracy in the northeast Delhi riots in February and were sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
Narwal, along with another JNU student Devangana Kalita have already been arrested in another case, being investigated by the Delhi Police's Crime branch, related to communal violence in northeast Delhi, and are in judicial custody till June 11. Metropolitan Magistrate Kapil Kumar sent both of them to judicial remand after the Delhi Police told the court that they longer seek their custody for probe.
Communal clashes had broken out in northeast Delhi on February 24 this year over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), leaving more than 50 people dead and around 200-250 of them injured.
