Rudrapur news portal journalist gets bail from CJM court, attempt-to-murder section also reportedly removed: journalist alleges he was attacked and falsely implicated

The news portal journalist in Rudrapur who was booked for attempt to murder and taken into custody after a late-night dispute with people in a car has got bail after a hearing in the CJM court. According to Uttra News, the attempt-to-murder section has also been removed from the case. The report gives both points as "information" and "reports", and carries no statement from the court or the police. The journalist alleges that while he was returning home, some people surrounded his car and tried to kill him, and that he was falsely implicated in the case. It is also alleged that the two sides came to blows; Uttra News attributes this to unconfirmed sources. The case was registered on a complaint from one side. In protest, journalists and Congress workers demonstrated at Rudrapur kotwali and demanded a fair investigation. The report does not carry the complainants' side. These are still allegations and have not been proved in court.
