Latest News about Ali Khan Mahmudabad
The Supreme Court of India granted interim bail to Ali Khan Mahmudabad on 29 May 2025 amid backlash over his controversial social media post, extending it till the third week of July. During the hearing, the court described his post as 'dog whistling' and imposed conditions including surrendering his passport and barring him from speaking or writing further about the post or Operation Sindoor. The case stemmed from complaints by the Haryana State Women's Commission and a political leader after he questioned the commission's jurisdiction.
Ali Khan Mahmudabad was arrested in Delhi on 18 May 2025 in connection with social media remarks he made about 'Operation Sindoor,' a series of Indian military strikes targeting areas in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The arrest followed a complaint by a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the BJP. He faced charges related to insulting religious sentiments and was sent to judicial custody.
