Prakash Raj Granted Bail After Bengaluru Court Recalls Warrant in Voter ID CasePreviousNext

Actor Prakash Raj appeared before a Bengaluru court and was granted bail after furnishing a Rs 4,000 cash surety in a case alleging he possessed multiple voter ID cards across different states. The court recalled a previously issued non-bailable warrant against him for not responding to summons. His lawyers argued that the summons were never served, and the case, originating from a 2019 complaint, remains ongoing under election law provisions.
