Nupur Sharma case: SC transfers all present, future FIRs against Navika Kumar to Delhi

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered transfer of all present and future FIRs lodged against Times Now anchor Navika Kumar to Delhi Police with regard to the remarks made by suspended BJP leader Nupur Sharma about Prophet Muhammed during a TV debate on May 26.

A bench of Justices M R Shah and Krishna Murari provided relief to the senior journalist who sought orders for consolidation of FIRs lodged in various states, five in West Bengal, two in Maharashtra, one in Jammu and Kashmir to Delhi police.

The court said it had already passed similar order in the case of Nupur Sharma and there can’t be two probe agencies with regard to a co-accused.
