Delhi High Court Grants Bail to Two Accused in 2023 Parliament Security Breach Case

The Delhi High Court has granted bail to Neelam Azad and Mahesh Kumawat, accused in the 2023 Parliament security breach case, on a ₹50,000 surety bond.

The Court imposed strict conditions, including a media gag, restricted travel outside Delhi, and mandatory appearances before the investigating agency thrice a week.

The case involves protestors who released smoke canisters inside the Lok Sabha chamber during a session. The High Court was hearing appeals against the Special NIA Court’s earlier bail denial.

Azad claimed the act was a protest against unemployment, not part of any terror conspiracy.
