Dr Kafeel Khan, accused in the 2017 Gorakhpur tragedy case, also questioned Police for arresting Ali Sohrab.
पिछले दिनों यूपी पुलिस पराली कि एक वीडियो ट्वीट करने वाले युवक को धमकी दें बैठे की NSA में अंदर कर दिया जाएगा और आज @AliSohrab007 को जिस तरह सादी वर्दी में दिल्ली से उठा कर लखनऊ लेकर पुलिस जा रही है, उससे सवाल उठता है कि लोकतांत्रिक देश हमारा किस ओर जा रहा है।#ReleaseAlisohrab

Sohrab had also made objectionable remarks following the murder of Hindu Samaj Party leader Kamlesh Tiwari by Islamists. In his tweet, Ali Sohrab went on to wish the deceased Kamlesh Tiwari on the occasion of Diwali despite knowing that he is not alive anymore.
He had made quite a few disturbing posts following the Supreme Court verdict on Ram Janmabhoomi.
ऐतिहासिक फैसला:
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि
मंदिर तोड़ कर मस्जिद नहीं बनी
लेकिन मस्जिद जिसे हिन्दुओं ने तोड़ी
वहां अब मंदिर बनेगा….#iWantMyMasjidBack— काकावाणी (161K) (@AliSohrab007) November 16, 2019

बहुसंखयकों (हिन्दुओं) ने
बाबरी मस्जिद बाबरी मस्जिद को विध्वंस कर दिया

9 नवंबर 2019 को
गैर कानूनी तरीके से
आतंकदवादी संगठन आरएसएस के मांग के अनुसार
मस्जिद की जमीन पर
मंदिर बनाने का फैसला सुना दिया गया….#iWantMyMasjidBack— काकावाणी (161K) (@AliSohrab007) November 16, 2019

Sohrab had been continuously indulging in sharing fake and inciteful posts on his social media pages. In September, following the abrogation of Article 370 by the centre, Sohrab had tried to pass off an old image of two army men cleaning a pool of blood on a road as a recent one. He shared the misleading image implying that it was taken during the ongoing situation in Kashmir.
