Delhi court grants bail to NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha after ‘invalid’ arrest; conditions imposed

A Delhi court on Wednesday granted bail to NewsClick founder and editor Prabir Purkayastha in an Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case, after the Supreme Court declared his arrest “invalid”. He has been in custody for more than seven months.

Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur directed Mr. Purkayastha’s release on furnishing bail bonds worth ₹1 lakh, on the condition that he shall not contact the witnesses and approvers associated with the case. The court has also directed him not to talk about the merits of the case or travel abroad without the court’s permission.
