Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan, arrested on terror charges under stringent UAPA while on his way to UP's Hathras to report on a Dalit woman's rape and murder two years ago, got bail today in a money laundering case from the High Court.

Kappan had already got bail in the terror case and other related laws from the Supreme Court in September, but remained in jail in Lucknow as he'd got no relief so far in the related case filed by the Enforcement Directorate.

Kappan, along with three others, was going to Hathras as a Dalit woman had died after she was allegedly gang-raped on September 14, 2020. She was cremated in the middle of the night in her village, sparking protests and widespread condemnation of the BJP government.
