High Court Grants Bail in Agra Techie's Suicide Case
A man named Manav died by suicide.
His mother-in-law and sister-in-law were accused of helping him do it.
They were put in jail.
The Allahabad High Court has now let them out on bail.
The court said there wasn't enough proof to show they helped Manav.
They also considered that the women had no previous criminal record, and had been in jail since March.
