The accused individuals were brought before the court, where bail was granted under specific conditions, including the provision of sureties and regular appearances before the investigating officer. The police, acting on the complaint, invoked relevant sections of the law, including those pertaining to forgery, spreading rumors, and disseminating false information.
They were asked to deposit a personal bond of Rs.10,000 each with two sureties and the court directed them to appear before the Investigation Officer every Monday and Friday till further orders.
