Delhi Court Grants Regular Bail to Swatantra Bhardwaj in Jantar Mantar Assault Case
A Delhi court granted regular bail to Swatantra Bhardwaj in a case involving the alleged assault of a student activist's father during a Cockroach Janta Party protest at Jantar Mantar. Bhardwaj had been in judicial custody since his arrest in September and was previously granted interim bail for three weeks, during which the court observed his conduct. Bail conditions include restrictions on contacting witnesses and discussing the case publicly. Bhardwaj's counsel claimed the arrest was politically motivated and disputed the allegations.
