The Kerala High Court has observed that merely watching certain videos and speeches will not be a reason to implicate a person as a terrorist. A division bench of justices A M Shaffique and P Somarajan made the observation while considering an appeal filed by one Muhammed Riyas, challenging an NIA court order denying bail to him. In its recent verdict, the court also set aside the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court order and granted bail to him. That apart, some nude photographs and videos of his wife were also found on the laptop, they said. Other than that, as the matter stands now, link with any terrorist organisation has not been established, the NIA had said.
