On Friday, YouTuber Manish Kashyap, who was jailed for broadcasting fake videos of migrant workers in Tamil Nadu, received a significant relief. A Madurai Court granted bail to the Bihar native and also lifted the NSA imposed on him.
Kashyap was taken to Tamil Nadu from Patna after the Tamil Nadu Police team obtained a production warrant from the court. Subsequently, in this case, an application was also filed by the YouTuber in the Supreme Court requesting the consolidation of FIRs filed in different states.
In today's proceedings, the Court announced the decision while conducting the final hearing in this case. Prior to this, the Supreme Court had directed him to appear before the High Court in response to his petition.
Manish Kashyap's lawyer has stated that they can only comment on the matter after receiving the written order from the court, expected to be issued at 5 p.m. The YouTuber was ordered to be kept in Beur jail in Patna by the Patna Civil Court in August this year in a case of financial wrongdoing filed by Economic Offence Unit of the Bihar Police.
The YouTuber was seen in a video stating that he is not the son of a cattle thief and he is not afraid of anyone. He mentioned that his grandfather fought in war against China, and his father is a soldier who fought in war with Pakistan. He further alleged that he was made to sit amongst drug addicts in prison and that those people used to smoke ganja and blow it on his face.
Though Kashyap has been granted bail in the fake videos case by Madurai court and the NSA case against him has been scrapped, the YouTuber is likely to remain in Patna's Beur jail due to the financial wrongdoing case filed against him by EOU. The EOU had lodged three cases against Kashyap. In the Bettiah case, he is alleged to have obstructed a bank manager from performing his official duties.
Therefore, despite the bail, Manish Kashyap is likely to stay in jail for a while. The SC has dismissed his plea seeking clubbing of FIRs against him and has said that it can't create disquiet in a stable state.
