Almost three months after the U.P. police arrested four men on their way to Hathras on sedition and terror charges, the district court in Mathura has said their police remand order was issued by a court that was not empowered to do so.
Citing a Supreme Court judgment, Yashwant Kumar Mishra, district and sessions judge, Mathura, said in his order on Tuesday, magistrates didn’t have the power to grant remand, including police remand for suspects booked under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act(UAPA).
Masood Ahmad (28), Atikur Rahman (28), Mohammad Alam (37) and Siddique Kappan (41) were arrested near Maant on October 5, when they were going from Delhi to meet the Hathras victim’s family.

Kochi: The Enforcement Directorate said that around Rs 100 crore was been sent to the bank account of Popular Front of India (PFI).
The ED informed the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court that they received the information while interrogating Campus Front of India national general secretary Rauf Shareef.
It needs to be investigated as to who sent the funds. The ED also suspected that some of the funds deposited in PFI s account between December 2019 and February 2020 were spent on anti-CAA protests.
The ED stated that it was Rauf Shareef, who sent journalist Siddique Kappan, who was arrested in Uttar Pradesh, to Hathras. Efforts were made to start a riot in Hathras and the details must be investigated, the central agency told the court.
