Arnab’s ‘Chats’ vs Faruqui’s ‘Jokes’: Guess Who is in Jail?

Sometimes joking is a bigger act of treason than chitchatting about sensitive State operations for profit.

This month, comedian Munawar Faruqui was arrested for “a joke he was about to crack.” Also this month, media mogul Arnab Goswami’s purported WhatsApp chats with BARC CEO Partho Dasgupta were made public, which reveal that he violated media ethics, and possibly passed on sensitive State information.

Only one of these men had their bail plea rejected.
