Justice Prafulla Khubalkar noted that the electronic devices belonging the accused Kamakhya Das were already seized and custodial interrogation would not be necessary at this stage.
Hence, the judge granted bail to Das while asking him cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
"Considering the nature of the allegations and the fact that the mobile phone and laptop of the applicant are already seized, at this stage, custodial interrogation need not be insisted upon.

Subject to these conditions, the High Court ordered that Das shall not be arrested till the next date of hearing of the matter on August 31.
