Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan has been granted bail by the Lucknow High Court in a money laundering case. Kappan had been in jail for over two years and was first arrested on terror charges in October 2020 while he was on his way to Uttar Pradesh to report on the horrific Hathras gangrape case, when a 19-year-old Dalit girl was brutally raped and murdered.
