After Yogi govt put up hoardings of perpetrators who indulged in arson and vandalism during the anti-CAA riots, Allahabad HC took suo moto cognizance and slammed the administration, calling it ‘unwarranted interference in privacy’. It also asked the state govt to take down ‘name and shame’ posters.
This is a sub judice case and the matter is going on in court, Singhvi said. Singhvi later cited an example and said that please take the case of child rapists and murderers cases.
The hoardings included pictures of Shia cleric Maulana Saif Abbas, former IPS officer SR Darapuri and Congress leader Sadaf Jafar, all of whom were named as accused in the violence that swept the state capital on December 19 last year.
