A Delhi court granted bail to nine Indian Youth Congress activists arrested during the India AI Impact Summit protest, calling their act “political dissent” and not organised crime. The Court stressed that pre-trial detention without necessity violates Article 21 and that bail remains the rule, not jail.
A Delhi Sessions Court has stayed the Magistrate’s early morning order granting bail to IYC President Uday Bhanu Chib in the India AI Impact Summit protest case. Police had challenged the 3:30 AM bail order after alleging security breach and raising of “anti-national” slogans during the shirtless protest.
