Madras High Court denies anticipatory bail to R. Murugesan, who shared a blasphemous post about Prophet Muhammad on Facebook. Murugesan faced charges under the Bharathiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act of 2000. The court agreed with the argument that individuals cannot evade prosecution by claiming they mistakenly shared a message or deleted it afterward, citing a 2023 judgment in actor S.V. Shekher's case.
