A local court in Hyderabad has granted bail to two YouTubers, Revathi Pogadadanda, Managing Director of Pulse Digital News Network, and Thanvi Yadav, an employee, who were arrested earlier this month for allegedly sharing content criticising Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in a derogatory manner.
The bail plea, filed by their lawyer Jakkula Ramesh, argued that their arrest was politically motivated and carried out under undue pressure. However, the prosecution opposed the application, asserting that the police required more time to investigate the case. After hearing both sides, the court ruled in favour of the YouTubers, directing their release on bail. They were asked to provide two sureties of ₹25,000 each and are expected to be released from Chanchalguda Special Prison for Women by Monday evening.
