Delhi’s Karkardooma court on Tuesday granted Sharjeel Imam seven days’ interim bail from October 4 to 10
NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Karkardooma court on Tuesday granted interim bail to Sharjeel Imam from October 4 to October 10 to attend the marriages of his two cousins in New Delhi and Bihar. Additional sessions judge (ASJ) Sameer Bajpai granted seven days’ interim bail to Imam, subject to conditions including furnishing a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and one surety in the like amount, news agency ANI reported.
The court said this was Imam’s second plea for interim bail and that the request was to attend the marriages of his real cousins. Delhi Police filed a reply verifying the marriages. However, special public prosecutor (SPP) Anirudh Mishra opposed the plea, stating that the allegations against the accused were serious and his regular bail had been rejected several times by the court.
His regular bail plea is pending before the Delhi high court.
The court also imposed conditions, including that Imam shall not contact any person or witness connected with the case, use social media, or meet anyone other than his family members.
