Day after arrest, ‘Mohammad’ Deepak gets bail in ‘abuse’ case
Deepak Kumar, a 28‑year‑old shop assistant, was arrested after confronting right‑wing activists who allegedly harassed an elderly Muslim shopkeeper. The incident attracted national attention, and a week later he secured bail in the abuse case. Authorities cited insufficient evidence for continued detention, while activists claim the arrest was politically motivated. The case highlights tensions over religious intolerance in the region.
