The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Jharkhand government on a bail plea by Sahadev Uraon, a 30-year-old security guard arrested for allegedly posting obscene and derogatory Facebook comments against Kalpana Soren, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s wife and a sitting MLA. The post was made from a fake Facebook account named 'Adivasi Ladka Raju Oraon'. Uraon has been in judicial custody since September 6, 2025, after his arrest by Ranchi cyber crime police. The Jharkhand High Court rejected his bail on April 17, 2026, citing the seriousness of using a fabricated identity to target a woman MLA. Uraon argues before the top court that his prolonged custody is unjustified as the chargesheet is filed and he has no criminal antecedents.
