The Delhi High Court has rejected the plea of NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and HR head Amit Chakravarty challenging their arrest under the anti-terror law UAPA. The duo had sought immediate release after being arrested by the Delhi Police on October 3. The police have sealed NewsClick's office and alleged that funds from China were received to disrupt India's sovereignty and sabotage the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Purkayastha has denied the allegations.
