Courts Grant Bail in TCS Case, Acquittal in Wrestlers' Harassment Case
A Nashik court granted bail to five individuals accused in a sexual harassment and forced conversion case involving TCS employees. The court cited no serious apprehension of witness tampering or evidence destruction. Separately, a Delhi court acquitted former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and co-accused in a sexual harassment case filed by women wrestlers. The case stemmed from allegations made during a protest at Jantar Mantar. In Bangladesh, a court granted bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das in two cases, though four pending charges delay his release.
