The Supreme Court has compiled a three-member special investigation team (SIT) to investigate the two FIRs registered against Mahmudabad on its controversial social media posts. The SIT informed the bank that it had filed a closing report in one of the two Fir’s against the professor, while a charge sheet was filed in the other on August 22 after it was found that some offenses had been committed. ‘The most unhappy’: Kapil Sibal Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, which appears for Mahmudabad, mentioned the filing of the Charthea and said that they discussed him under Article 152 of BNS (sedition), of which the validity is under the challenge.
