TMC MP Mahua Moitra slammed the court’s decision to grant bail to self-styled influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj in the alleged assault of a CJP protester’s father after a video surfaced on social media, showing him issuing a warning to Lok Sabha MP Chandrashekhar Azad .
Am calling it out. Satyameva Jayate. A Delhi court granted three weeks of interim bail to Bhardwaj on September 15 in the alleged assault of the father of a CJP activist during a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar in July.
Mahua shared the video on her X timeline and wrote that Swatantra is back on his “shikaar”.
The influencer was detained in Bulandshahr earlier this month, hours after the CJP held a protest outside the Parliament Street police station demanding his arrest over the alleged assault. She also criticised the court order granting bail to the influencer, saying, “the judiciary in India is today turning out to be our Constitution’s greatest threat.
Bhardwaj was granted interim relief on a bail bond of ₹ 50,000 and a surety of a similar amount. The 21-year-old was sent to 14 days of judicial custody last week. The order was pronounced by Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler. The case is registered under the SC/ST Act.
