Bengaluru, Mar 6: The Karnataka High Court has granted an interim stay on the police notice issued to YouTuber Sameer M D over his video related to the murder and gang rape of Dharmasthala student Sowjanya.
During the hearing on Sameer’s petition challenging the notice, the court expressed displeasure over the manner in which the police had proceeded. It pointed out that legal procedures require authorities to provide a copy of the FIR along with the notice, which had not been done in this case.
The court also questioned the urgency with which the notice was issued, particularly in cases involving influential figures, and observed that the police had failed to adhere to established legal guidelines.
Following these observations, the High Court ordered an interim stay on the investigation of the case registered at the Cowl Bazar police station in Ballari.
