Delhi couple accused of hurling racial slurs at NE women secure regular bail

New Delhi, April 13: A Delhi court on Monday granted regular bail to a married couple who allegedly hurled racial slurs at their neighbours from Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur.
Additional Sessions Judge Samar Vishal was hearing the regular bail plea of the accused, Harsh Priya Singh and Ruby Jain, who were produced before the court upon the expiry of the 30-day interim bail granted on March 11. “Considering the status report of investigating officer (IO) according to which the investigation in the matter is completed, both the accused persons are admitted on regular bail on the bail bonds already furnished by them for securing interim bail,” the court said.
Last month, the court had granted interim bail to the two accused upon furnishing personal bond and surety bond in the sum of Rs 25,000 each.
Advocates Abinash Kumar, BP Singh and Sumanta Barik, representing the accused in the case, stated before the court that the couple complied with all the bail conditions as directed in the previous order.
They had vacated their residence at a building in Malviya Nagar where the incident occurred and relocated to a new locality. The couple also updated the IO with their new address and contact information, the lawyers said. (PTI)
