A petition was filed in the Allahabad High Court for quashing the FIR against Jafar, calling her arrest as illegal. The high court on Thursday asked the state government to file its reply within two weeks on the petition.

Reacting to Jafar’s arrest, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had lashed out at UP government saying it has “crossed all limits of inhumanity”. “The police have put Sadaf in jail by making baseless allegations,” Gandhi tweeted on Sunday as she reached Jafar’s house to meet her family members.

More than 100 people were arrested after December 19 protests. Prominent human rights lawyer Mohammed Shoaib and ex-policeman SR Darapuri were among those who were arrested for showing anger at a citizenship law they say is unconstitutional.
