The Bengaluru City Police on Wednesday filed a B report in a case of sedition booked against international human rights non-government organisation Amnesty International, India, for want of evidence to make the charge.
The city police had booked unnamed representatives of Amnesty International, India for sedition based on a complaint by members of the Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) following an event in the city on August 15, 2016, called ‘Broken Families’ where Kashmiri families were to narrate their stories of strife in the valley.
The event turned controversial after ABVP activists gate crashed and objected to the event. In the complaint they filed later, they alleged that “Azadi” slogans were raised at the event, which amounted to sedition.
