Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has requested the Supreme Court to cancel six cases filed against him by the Uttar Pradesh Police. He has also sought that the Special Investigation Team formed to probe the cases be called off. Three of these cases have been filed in Lakhimpur Kheri, Hathras and Sitapur over a tweet in which he called some right wing leaders "hate mongers". Mr Zubair's team is hoping for an early hearing.
