Imphal, June 28 2021:
A 22-year old youth, who was arrested by police for sending obscene photos and videos on WhatsApp, was granted bail by CJM Imphal West on Monday.
The youth has been identified as Mingchatlen Laishram (22) of Wangkhei Tokpam Leikai.
On Monday, a team of Imphal PS produced Mingchatlen in front of CJM Imphal West via online, along with a prayer to remand him to 15 days in judicial custody.
The defence counsel objected to the prayer stating that the accused is a student and also working part-time to support his family.
On top of this, he is only 22 years old and a first time offender.
As such, the counsel prayed to the Court for granting bail to the accused.
After listening to the submissions of the IO and the defence counsel, the Court granted bail to Mingchatlen on execution of PR bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety of the like amount.
It also directed the accused to be present before the IO for any questioning related to the case.
He must not be involved in any more offences and is prohibited from travelling outside the state without the Court's permission.
The Court also ordered him not to contact and intimidate any witnesses of the case or temper the evidences.
