The mentioned tweet belonged to film 'Kissi Se Na Kehna' by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, it's a lovely comedy & was allowed by censor board...They say the tweet is provocative & sensitive, but still no direction from Twitter to remove it: Advocate Vrinda Grover, representing Mohd Zubair
It is not a case of time-barred... It is still a continuing offence as the tweet is still there... When the film was released, it was not the age of the internet: Atul Shrivastava, representing Delhi Police
Donations are from Pakistan, Syria, so considering gravity,it's not just a case of a simple tweet...accused is Pravda Media director,he smartly deleted everything...In such circumstances,bail application should be dismissed...deletion of data from phone after FIR imp:Delhi Police
I was not aware of the FIR and phone was not summoned... It's not illegal to format my phone. It is not arms & ammunition, or a drug... It's not illegal to format my phone... I take serious legal & constitutional objections: Advocate Vrinda Grover, representing Mohd Zubair
