‘Mohammad’ Deepak Gets Bail After Arrest in Kotdwar Threat Case

These are allegations, not a finding described in the reports.

They later added more charges, saying the investigation and CCTV footage supported doing so.
Deepak was released after providing three bonds, and officials said he was warned to avoid disturbing the peace for six months.
