SC Refuses to Interfere with Shankar's Bail Conditions

SC Refuses to Interfere with Shankar's Bail Conditions

The Supreme Court of India decided not to change the bail conditions set by the Madras High Court for a YouTuber named Shankar.

Shankar was granted bail on health grounds but was told not to talk about ongoing court cases.

However, he continued to make videos and reels about these cases, which the court saw as a misuse of his freedom.

The court also noted that Shankar did not visit the hospital as required for his bail conditions.

The Supreme Court said it would not interfere with the bail conditions and dismissed Shankar's plea.

Earlier, the Madras High Court had also refused to unseal Shankar's office and return his seized devices.

Shankar was arrested on December 13, 2025, on charges of extorting money from a film producer.
