A Delhi court on Tuesday granted bail to Shankar Mishra, who is accused of urinating on his co-passenger during an Air India flight from New York to Delhi.
Mishra, who was arrested from Bengaluru on January 7, was granted a bail on a bond of ₹1 lakh and one surety of like amount. On Monday, the Delhi’s Patiala House court had reserved order on the bail plea of Mishra.
The Delhi Police had opposed bail to the accused, arguing that the November 26 incident had defamed India on the international stage. The court noted that what Mishra allegedly did was although disgusting, but must be dealt in accordance with law.
