Allahabad HC labels Noida DM's actions 'despotic' in activist's NSA case
The Allahabad High Court has criticized Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam for detaining activist Akriti Chaudhary under the NSA following a workers' protest in Noida. The court remarked that such "despotic" behavior by officials risks turning Uttar Pradesh into an "Orwellian Dystopia." Additionally, the court ordered a compensation of ₹5 lakh for Akriti, specifying that the funds should be recovered from the salaries of Roopam and the other involved officials.
