YouTuber gets bail in racial slur case

Itanagar: A court in Itanagar granted bail to social media influencer Paras Singh who was arrested last month for making a racial comment, targetting an Arunachal Pradesh lawmaker. The chief judicial magistrate (CJM) court here granted bail to Singh on Friday. The court allowed Singh’s plea for bail on the execution of a personal bond of `10,000 and a set of other conditions, including not permitting him to leave the country. The YouTuber was also asked to stay away from interfering into the investigation process. Public prosecutor Rotom Vijay said, “The bail was granted to Singh as the investigation was almost over and all necessary statements were recorded by the state police during his time in judicial custody here.”
