He was also charged under section 66A of the Information Technology Act for posting derogatory statements about the National Flag. The sessions court said that his ‘behaviour was anti-national and his offence more serious than murder,’ reported the Malayalam channel Media One. The case was filed against six people in which only Salman has yet been arrested. One of them got an anticipatory bail and the remaining have gone into hiding.Advocate M Harilal who appeared for Salman in court has said that the police could not furnish any documents that could justify his being denied bail, reported the Indian Express.The Amnesty International had earlier come out in support of Salman.
