Bombay High Court Allows UK-Based Doctor to Travel Abroad Amid PM Modi Social Media Case

Bombay High Court has cleared the way for UK-based doctor Sangram Patil to return to his duties with the National Health Service. 

The Court directed the modification of a Look Out Circular issued following an FIR involving allegations of spreading disinformation via Facebook posts directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders. 

The Court accepted undertakings from Patil and his parents, guaranteeing his cooperation with the ongoing investigation. Under the agreement, Patil must appear before the investigating officer within fifteen days of receiving notice.

Consequently, the State police agreed to modify the LOC, allowing him to travel internationally despite the pending probe.
