Paras Singh, a YouTuber who was arrested last month for uttering racial slurs against senior Congress MLA Ninong Ering and the people of Arunachal Pradesh, has been granted bail by the Chief Judicial Magistrate court.

The court granted Paras's bail application on the condition that he execute a personal bond of Rs 10,000 and comply with additional conditions, including not allowing him to leave the country. The YouTuber has also been instructed not to interfere with the investigation.

Speaking to Capital News, a local media house, public prosecutor Advocate Rotom Vijay said “the bail was granted to Paras as the investigation process was almost over and all necessary statements have been recorded by the state police during his time in judicial custody here.”

Rotom, however, said that Paras being granted bail does not mean the case is closed; trial would continue after the submission of chargesheet, he said.

He would have to come back to Arunachal for the hearing(s) of the case whenever the court summons him, Rotom said.
