Delhi court grants bail to IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib, arrested for his involvement in the AI Summit protest.
A Delhi court has granted bail to Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib, who was arrested in connection with a protest at the India AI Impact Summit.
Mr. Chib was produced before the duty magistrate around 1 a.m. on Saturday (February 28, 2026) as his four-day police custody, granted by the court on February 24, came to an end.
Duty Magistrate Vanshika Mehta was hearing an application by the Delhi Police seeking a seven-day extension of his custody. However, she dismissed the plea and granted him bail.
Speaking to the media, Chib's counsel informed that bail was granted by the magistrate against the surety bond of ₹50,000, and the court has also directed his client to surrender his passport and electronic gadgets.
"The duty magistrate was pleased enough to grant bail to Uday Bhanu Chib and has explained in the bail order that the police crime branch has not been able to explain the reasons for seeking extension of PC remand to Uday Bhanu Chib," the IYC president's counsel said.
On February 24, the court allowed four days of custody to the police to question Mr. Chib over his role in the AI Summit protest held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, during which IYC members took their shirts off to reveal anti-Modi and anti-Centre slogans on T-shirts beneath.
