Delhi Court Grants Bail To Journalist Mandeep Punia As Delay In FIR
Citing delay in FIR, a Delhi court granted bail to journalist Mandeep Punia on a bond of Rs 25,000 on February 2. The magistrate said that Mandeep was arrested for allegedly pushing constable Rajkumar at the protest site. Besides observing an anomaly with filing FIR, the court granted bail since the complainant, victims, and witnesses were all policemen. The court affirmed, ‘bail is a rule and jail is an exception’.
