Affidavit declares 3 criminal cases with charges related to unlawful assembly (IPC 143, 147), rioting, and COVID-19 quarantine violations (IPC 269, 270, 271). While web search found no additional undisclosed cases, the declared charges include serious offenses: IPC 270 (malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life) is a significant charge, though not categorized as 'serious IPC' in the affidavit. These cases appear to stem from incidents during political activities or pandemic-related violations, but the specific context and current status of these cases are not available in public records.
