The accused maintained that they had not committed any offence and had been falsely implicated in the case, seeking release on bail. Advocate Manoj Bhati, appearing for the accused, said the court granted bail as the offence invoked in the case is bailable.
The court released both accused on a personal bond of ₹25,000 each and imposed various conditions, also directing them to "fully cooperate with the investigation", the advocate said. The court ordered that the accused shall not leave the country without prior permission of the court and would be required to seek permission in advance in case of foreign travel.
