His arrest is linked to his online activities in which he reportedly discussed soldiers’ welfare issues and engaged military personnel in conversations that raised concerns over possible incitement and breaches of military communication guidelines.
The army had earlier confirmed his arrest, stating that the case involved alleged violations of its social media policy and issues bordering on national security and cyber-related misconduct.
After hearing the case, the court ordered that Justice Crack be remanded in DSS custody, while investigations continue and the matter is further reviewed.
