 Today's Highlighted Video Story: A pattern seems to be emerging in India. Activists are being arrested for the farmers protest and charged under serious charges - sedition, attempt to murder, and then granted bail; in some cases, the bail orders dismantling the police case. Today it was the turn of Nodeep Kaur, a 23-year-old Dalit labour rights activist from Punjab. Arrested over 45 days ago by the Haryana police, she is now out on bail. Her arrest received less attention than those of the activists arrested under the so-called 'Toolkit' case of the Delhi police, but it contains many of the similar ingredients.
