    Ashok Koyi

    from Bengaluru, Karnataka

I was arrested by Bangalore Police for wanting to go and do a bike rally to protest at detention center in Sondekoppa, Nelamangala, Bangalore from Mysore bank circle, Bangalore

Police filed charges of Assaulting a police officer, not disclosing info when asked by authorised police officer & finally Making statement intended to cause fear, or alarm the public, when I specified my intent to go to detention centre & asked people to join me for bike procession. Does that amount to causing alarm & fear? To whom?

Using these charges, they ceased my bike, mobile, DL & Hall ticket & filed cases against them as accessories to a crime

They also sent police to my home demanding my sister & mother to showup at station when they had nothing to do with this

I intend to fight these charges as they are not back by evidence

As of now I paid a total fee of 20,000 to lawyers as fee for getting my bail. One generous member of our anti-NRC group funded this fee. She would like to remain anonymous. Since 20K is quite a sum, I would like to pay her back so that its not a huge burden on her

I approached few lawyers who offered help pro-bono, but not all lawyers are created equal & even after pro-bono, there are still costs

One lawyer informed me that it will cost me roughly 5K to get bail for my bike, mobile & other items. On top of this I need to fight the case in the court by paying lawyers

I am told getting these items released can take as long as a week to 20 days, which means, my commute is quite restricted. Also, since my mobile is ceased, I need to rely on mobiles of my family members to communicate with anyone without knowing who is who when they call me

This is a request to spread the load across so that I can fight these charges. I will be sharing the details of the expenses as soon as I incur them on my twitter at @thekalinga. As of now, I am not sure about the cost of overall legal expenses as I was never taken to a court/never involved in protests in any serious form before in my life

If we raise more funds than that are required to cover my legal expenses thru this campaign, I will be donating the funds to any organisation that is fighting legal cases in a transparent manner for others like me who are charged when it comes to NPR, NRC & CAA

Chip in & help me out on this
