Madras High Court Grants Anticipatory Bail to Chennai Press Club President and Two Journalists
The Madras High Court granted anticipatory bail to Chennai Press Club president M. Suresh Vedhanayagam and two journalists, D. Prakash and S. Sarath Kumar, in a criminal case filed by Vepery police. The case involves allegations that they portrayed fellow journalist R. Kathiravan as an extortionist in WhatsApp groups. Justice N. Ramesh emphasized that such messages among journalists do not constitute public news and urged restraint, noting their professional standing is not a shield against legal action. Bail conditions include daily appearances before the investigating officer.
