The Calcutta High Court on Thursday granted interim bail to social media influencer Sharmistha Panoli. The 22-year-old student was arrested by the Kolkata police for making alleged ‘communal’ comments about Operation Sindoor.

She was arrested in Gurugram and brought to Kolkata on a transit remand. The High Court, while granting interim bail to Ms. Panoli, said that “at this point there is no need for custodial interrogation”.
