Elgar Parishad Case: Accused Sagar Gorkhe Granted Interim Bail for Law Exams
A man named Sagar Gorkhe, who is accused of having links to Maoists and making provocative speeches at a meeting called Elgar Parishad, has been allowed to leave jail for a short time to take his law exam.
The court said he can go from December 14, 2024, to January 4, 2025.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) didn't want him to be let out, but the court said it was okay because he had been allowed to leave for an exam before and always came back.
