Akriti Chaudhary, the 25-year-old Delhi University student, expressed relief over the Allahabad High Court order quashing the National Security Act (NSA) against her. However, her struggle will continue until the release of all those jailed following the workers’ protest in April this year, she added.

The action against Aakriti Chaudhary was based on a ‘concocted story’, the bench held, ordering the UP government to pay Rs 5 lakh compensation to her.

Allahabad HC quashes Aakriti Chaudhary's NSA detention, citing lack of evidence and procedural lapses in her arrest.
