Lucknow court rejects Siddique Kappan’s bail plea in PMLA case

The Hindu  

A Lucknow sessions court on Monday rejected the bail plea of Kerala-based journalist Siddique Kappan in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate. The rejection of bail application in the PMLA case means that Mr. Kappan will need to remain in jail despite being granted bail by the Supreme Court in other cases in September 2022. The Supreme Court granted bail to Mr. Kappan on September 9 in the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act case, stating that “every citizen has the right to free expression”. It took days for Mr. Kappan’s lawyers to find an Uttar Pradesh resident who agreed to stand surety to fulfil bail conditions after the top court’s decision.
