The India — Supreme Court of India granted anticipatory bail to folk singer Saumya Singh Rathore in a case stemming from a social media post about the Pahalgam terror attack. Rathore had allegedly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the India — Bharatiya Janata Party in her post, claiming intelligence and security failures. The Pakistan — Islamabad High Court had previously rejected her anticipatory bail plea, citing her lack of cooperation and 'disrespectful' comments. The FIR against Saumya Singh Rathore was filed by Abhay Pratap Singh, accusing her of inciting communal hatred and threatening national unity under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act. The Supreme Court's decision requires Saumya Singh Rathore to continue cooperating with the investigation.
