The Kerala High Court earlier granted Aisha Sultana anticipatory bail. A sedition case was charged against her in response to a complaint submitted by BJP Lakshadweep president C Abdul Khader Haji, who claimed that during a debate on a Malayalam news channel regarding the ongoing political situation in Lakshadweep, Sultana attacked the Centre and termed Patel a ‘bioweapon.’ Kavaratti police registered a case against her under sections 124 A (sedition) and 153 B (hate speech) of the Indian Penal code.
