Prominent journalists Prabir Purkayastha and Amit Chakravarty, associated with NewsClick, have been remanded to 10-day judicial custody. This development comes in the wake of ongoing investigations related to their reporting activities. The decision has sparked a debate on press freedom and the role of media in a democratic society. Supporters argue that their detention raises concerns about the stifling of free speech, while authorities assert that it is part of a legitimate legal process. The case has garnered significant attention both nationally and internationally, with advocates for journalistic independence calling for a fair and transparent investigation. The incident highlights the delicate balance between the freedom of the press and the rule of law in India.
