The Gauhati High Court grants bail to Amritprabha Mahanta, a co-singer accused in the death case of Assamese singer Zubeen Garg. NDTV reports that Mahanta faces six charges, including murder.
According to multiple outlets, the bail order is issued by Justice Pranjal Das. The court grants bail against a bond of ₹50,000 and related surety requirements. India Today notes the court grants bail after proceedings, while The Hindu and Times of India add that the court considers the prosecution’s opportunity to present its case during hearings held over several days.
While outlets agree on the bail decision and the basic terms, they differ slightly in how they describe the procedural context. Times of India specifies Mahanta remains in Haflong jail with another accused, while other accused persons are held separately, reflecting the case’s status beyond the bail order.
