A Delhi court on Friday granted bail to four of the five persons arrested for allegedly beating and molesting two Manipuri girls and hurling racist abuses at them.
Additional sessions judge Rajender Kumar Shastri allowed the bail pleas of accused Prem Raj, Bhagwandas, Yogesh Prasad and Manoj while asking them to furnish bail bond of Rs 30,000 each with surety of the like amount.
The court, however, imposed certain conditions and asked them not to leave the national capital without informing it. It further said that they should not ‘try to contact the witnesses or influence them in any manner’. The fifth accused Bharat Singh is in judicial custody.
The five accused had on 4 February refused to undergo test identification parade, saying the complainants will identify them as they are locals.
The incident, which occurred at Kotla Mubarakpur area on 25 January evening, came to light following an uproar over the death of a student from Arunachal Pradesh Nido Tania, who was allegedly assaulted by shopkeepers on 29 January.
