Mathura: A local court on Wednesday, hearing the bail plea of two suspected members of the Popular Front of India (PFI), reprimanded the UP STF as the agency demanded more time to produce all papers related to their case.
The court said the STF must come prepared with all documents. The matter would now be heard on Thursday.
A few weeks ago, four men were arrested for allegedly disturbing communal harmony after the Hathras rape and murder case. Those arrested include Siddique Kappan - a journalist from Kerala, Aalam, Masood and Atiqur Rahman.
On Wednesday, the bail plea of Aalam and Masood was to be heard but the court couldn't do so as the STF failed to produce the case diary.

Madhu Dutt Chaturvedi, advocate for the accused said that the court rebuked the STF after the officials informed it that the case diary was with the CJM court.
According to the FIR, charges under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the IT Act were also filed against the four men, who were accused by the state police of having links with the PFI.
