The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to student activist Safoora Zargar in connection with a case related to the violence that broke out in northeast Delhi in February this year. A bench of Justice Rajiv Shakdher directed Safoora not to involve in any activities which may hamper the probe in the matter. The High Court directed Safoora to furnish a personal bond of Rs 10,000 and a surety of the like amount and told her to remain in touch with the investigating officer through mobile phone at least once in 15 days. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the High Court that showing exemplary fairness the prosecution has agreed for bail to Safoora on certain conditions, which the bench accepted. Safoora Zargar had moved the High Court challenging an order of a trial court in Delhi, which had dismissed her bail application.
