The family members of a 29-year-old Kashmiri youth Tauseef Ahmad Bhat who's facing arrest in Chhattisgarh for 'posting anti-India' content on Facebook, has filed a fresh bail application in Chhattisgarh High Court after his earlier bail applications were rejected by a lower court and Durg Sessions court last week.

"It's strange my brother has spent nearly two months in jail for posting something on Facebook. Even if he's done some wrong, the law allows an accused to get bail. First, we struggled for days to find a lawyer willing to take our case and now when we found a lawyer, the court has rejected our bail application. We are hopeful that High Court might grant us bail," Tauseef's elder brother Hilal Ahmad told ScoopWhoop News in a telephonic interview from Kashmir.
