New Delhi, May 14 (UNI) The Supreme Court, in its interim direction, on Tuesday granted bail to Bharatiya Janata Party youth wing leader, Priyanka Sharma, subject to her tendering an unconditional apology in writing immediately after coming out of jail in connection with alleged sharing of a morphed image of Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee.
Ms Sharma had approached the apex court seeking bail in the case, which was granted by a vacation bench, headed by Justice Indira Banerjee.
The bench also issued notice to the Bengal Government seeking its response on whether a political leader can be prosecuted for sharing an alleged objectionable post, which is a kind of political satire.
