The Allahabad High Court has granted interim anticipatory bail to Dr. Madri Kakoti, an assistant professor in Lucknow University’s linguistics department, who is named in an FIR lodged over her alleged social media posts commenting on the Pahalgam terror attack. The FIR accuses her of endangering India’s sovereignty and integrity, disturbing public order, and sowing communal disharmony—particularly noting her use of terms like “saffron-terrorist” and alleged amplification of her remarks via Pakistani media. The complaint was filed by ABVP member and university student Jatin Shukla. The relief was granted by Justice Rajeev Singh of the Allahabad High Court today, June 9, 2025, subject to standard bail conditions.
