Delhi’s Patiala House Court has allowed NewsClick’s Human Resources (HR) department chief Amit Chakravarty to turn an approver in the case lodged against the news portal under anti-terror law UAPA over allegations that it received money to spread pro-China propaganda.
Special Judge Hardeep Kaur pardoned Chakravarty, arrested in the case, on an application he moved last week seeking the court’s permission to turn an approver.
Chakravarty also claimed he was in possession of “material information” about the case which he was willing to disclose to the Delhi Police.
Last Year on October 3 the Special Cell of Delhi Police had arrested Purkayastha and Chakravarty on and both of them are currently in judicial custody.
According to the FIR, registered by Delhi Police a large amount of funds to the news portal came from China to “disrupt the sovereignty of India” and cause disaffection against the country.
Delhi Police also alleged Purkayastha conspired with a group — People’s Alliance for Democracy and Secularism (PADS) — to sabotage the electoral process during the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.
