Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan has approached the Mathura District Court for bail. "The facts stated in the FIR are fabricated, concocted, and manipulated. The foundation of this FIR is 'media reports'," Kappan's bail plea stated. The UP Special Task Force in April had named Kappan and others under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in a 5,000-page charge sheet.
