SC grants anticipatory bail to Malayalam actor Siddique
The Supreme Court grants anticipatory bail to Malayalam actor Siddique in a rape case, subject to conditions, amid controversy over delayed FIR and ongoing investigation.
Recent allegations of sexual assault have emerged in a podcast interview, leaving people connecting the dots to Anti-Flag band member Justin Sane, although the victim did not explicitly name him. The internet quickly caught wind of the speculations, referring to the “lead singer.” As the online discussions continue, let’s take a closer look at who Justin Sane is.
Born in 1973, as Justin Cathal Geever, he adopted the stage name Justin Sane, which was affectionately given to him by friends in Pittsburgh’s punk scene. A talented American singer and guitarist, he gained recognition as the lead guitarist, singer, and songwriter of the punk rock band Anti-Flag. The band was formed back in 1988 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was known for its left-wing political views. Unfortunately, Anti-Flag disbanded unexpectedly during a European tour on July 19, 2023. The reason behind the sudden decision was initially undisclosed, leaving fans puzzled. The band’s social media profiles, along with Sane’s personal accounts, were taken offline.
