Video Shows Swatantra Bhardwaj Warning Chandrashekhar Azad After Bail Granted
A video circulating on social media shows a man resembling Swatantra Bhardwaj, recently granted interim bail in an assault case, issuing warnings to Aazad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad and his supporters. The video includes threats of retaliation linked to an attack on a protester's father during a July demonstration. While the video’s authenticity and timing remain unverified, the bail order restricts Bhardwaj from making public statements. TMC MP Mahua Moitra criticized the bail and the judiciary's role in the case.
