The Calcutta High Court has granted interim bail to Sharmistha Panoli on Thursday (June 5), an Instagram influencer who was arrested by Kolkata Police in Gurugram, for allegedly posting a communal video that caused widespread outrage online. The court has asked the influencer to furnish a bail bond of Rs 10,000.
The Instagram clip was reportedly derogatory towards a particular religion. However, Panoli had deleted the video and issued an apology on May 15.
