Court Grants Bail to Professor Over Social Media Post
A professor named Dr. Madri Kakoti, also known as Dr. Medusa, was in trouble because of something she wrote online about a recent terrorist attack.
The police filed a case against her.
She asked for help from the court to avoid being arrested.
The court agreed to let her go free for now, but the case is still going on.
The professor argues that the police didn't even show what she wrote in the official report.
The person who reported her to the police is from a student group that has links to a larger organization.

The case stems from a social media post regarding the Pahalgam terror attack.
Kakoti was booked by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
