Some of us have been raising an alarm about the horrible #Sec295 for decades.
Back then, even the police saw it as an annoying distraction. And these were fringe cases.
With the police, government, AND courts now weaponizing it against Zubair and others, Dystopia is here.

A friend of mine in publishing was once the target of this. Back then, one of the cops called saying "this ridiculous time wasting case has been filed against you. Legally we have to come question you. Just leave town for a couple of days. We will come, say you weren't there.."
"The complainant just wants media coverage. Once he gets it, he will forget about you. And we can focus on actual police work."
That was when these were really fringe type cases filed purely chasing headlines. And the police sided with the innocent, like they are supposed to.

The flimsiness and obvious orchestration behind the Zubair arrest isn't because of oversight but because of oversight, iykwim.
It's not like they missed the complaint tweet being an anon solo tweet. That's the point. That they can arrest you even if innocent.

There's also the whataboutery tactic so they can say "why are libruls not supporting noopoor if free speech". They think they are Jyllands Posten or South Park but JP-SP support jokes about ALL religions.
These petulant guys arrest folks for calling Bisht Bisht!

The message sent with the Zubair arrest, Teesta arrest, just like the Aryan arrest, is to send the chilling message that ANYONE can be arrested, even if they have done absolutely nothing wrong. And everyone knows how police treat people arrested out of political vendetta.
