PM Modi fake video case: Delhi court grants bail to Congress leader AK Bereddy [Read More]

A Delhi court granted bail to Arun Kumar Bereddy of the Congress party on June 19 in a case involving a fake video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Judge Akanksha Garg rejected the State's plea for three days of police custody, citing illegal arrest due to failure to issue proper notice under Section 41A of CrPC. \r

Bereddy was released on bail upon furnishing personal bonds of ₹50,000 with one surety of the same amount. The prosecution alleged Bereddy posted misleading content to tarnish PM Modi's image, impacting military morale and international relations. \r

His counsel argued political vendetta, noting the non-urgent nature of the posts, dating back to 2022-2023, and the bailable nature of most charges.
