Bulli Bai’ app case accused Niraj Bishnoi and ‘Sulli Deals’ app creator Omkareshwar Thakur was granted bail by a Delhi court on Monday on humanitarian grounds.

The court considering their bail request determined that the accused are first-time offenders, and that keeping them in prison would be detrimental to their general health

In its order, the court said, “The accused person would not tamper with evidence, would provide his contact details to Investigation Officer and would keep his phone switched on and would provide his location to the investigating officer.”

They cannot leave the county as well. The court further directed both the accused of appearing before the court on each and every date. It also warned them to not commit a similar offence while on bail.
