The post in question allegedly read: "Kamran Bhatti Proud of You, Pakistan Zindabad".
While allowing the bail plea, Justice Santosh Rai observed that while posting a message that may provoke anger or disharmony among citizens could be punishable under Section 196 (promoting enmity) of the BNS, it did not attract the stringent provisions of Section 152 of the BNS.
