Divya Bhatia

BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and WFI official Vinod Tomar have been granted interim bail for two days in an alleged s*xual harassment case.

The Delhi court approved the bail application, releasing the duo on a bail bond of ₹25,000 each. The court will list the bail application for detailed arguments in the future.

Advocate Rajeev Mohan and advocate Rehan Khan, representing Singh and Tomar, moved bail applications, citing that the chargesheet was filed without arrest. They argued for bail and raised concerns about the media trial based on the chargesheet’s allegations.

Public prosecutor Atul Srivastava opposed the bail application, presenting counter-arguments against granting interim bail to Singh and Tomar.

The Court’s Decision for the Case

The court instructed the defense counsel to file an appropriate application regarding the alleged media trial. The matter has been listed for hearing arguments on the regular bail application of Singh and Tomar on July 20.

The court had issued a summons to the BJP MP on July 7 when it took cognizance of the chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police.
