Sharmishta Panoli Gets Interim Bail 

Sharmishta Panoli, the 22-year-old influencer arrested over a communally charged video linked to Operation Sindoor, has been granted interim bail by the Calcutta High Court today. 

As part of the bail conditions, she has been barred from leaving the country without prior permission from the Chief Judicial Magistrate. She has also been directed to deposit a sum of Rs 10,000.

The High Court has also instructed the Kolkata Police to act on the petition filed by Panoli regarding threats to her safety, which she had raised before her arrest.

Panoli, a fourth-year law student from Pune, was arrested on May 30 in Gurugram after a now-deleted video allegedly hurting religious sentiments triggered widespread outrage. A Kolkata court had remanded her to judicial custody till June 13.
