Gauhati HC Grants Bail to Man Who Allegedly Threatened CM Over Pro-Pakistan Facebook Post

The Gauhati High Court granted bail to a man accused of posting pro-Pakistan content and threatening to kill Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma if anything happened to Pakistan.

The post included phrases like “Pakistan Zindabad” and “open challenge” to harm the CM. Justice Robin Phukan noted that the man had already spent 57 days in custody, and the case diary was not produced despite multiple requests.

The Court ruled that further custody wasn't necessary for the investigation. Bail was granted with conditions, including full co-operation and a ban on influencing witnesses or obstructing the probe.
