AI summit protest: Can't deny liberty on conjectures, says court, grants bail to Youth Cong chief

NEW DELHI: (Feb 28) A Delhi court on Saturday granted bail to Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib, who was arrested in connection with a protest at the India AI Impact Summit here, saying "no person shall be devoid of his liberty on mere conjectures".

However, hours after granting bail to Chib, the court ordered a verification of the documents and bonds furnished by the IYC chief and said he would be in judicial custody till Sunday morning.

Chib was produced before Duty Magistrate Vanshika Mehta at her official residence around 1 am as his four-day police custody, granted by the court on February 24, came to an end.
