Supreme Court advocate Sanjay Hegde sounds ‘police state’ alarm over NewsClick FIR

Senior Supreme Court advocate and civil rights promoter Sanjay Hegde has expressed alarm at the mention of a lawyer as a “key person” in the FIR registered against the NewsClick news site under the anti-terror law UAPA. “The day that a lawyer can be deterred from taking a brief that he would have normally taken, that is the beginning of a police state,” Hegde told The Telegraph.
