Supreme Court Says "Can't Be Police State": Time For Law On Bail?

That's how it's supposed to be even now; yet, people languish for years in jail. It is also important to examine the case of fact-checker Mohammed Zubair - he was arrested for a 4-year-old tweet on June 27, and has since then been unable to get bail as he faces a series of cases against him. Tonight on Left, Right & Centre, we ask the question: is India now a police state?
