The Himachal Pradesh High Court granted bail to Abhishek Singh Bhardwaj, arrested on charges including sedition for allegedly posting content on social media, such as a Pakistan flag and slogans, and discussing the India-Pakistan conflict. The court emphasized that 'intent is key' and mere posting of content, including images of prohibited arms or slogans, does not constitute sedition unless it incites violence or disturbs public order. No prohibited weapons were recovered, and the court found no evidence of Bhardwaj inciting hatred or discontent towards the government.
