The Supreme Court today granted three-month interim bail to Jitendra Narayan Singh Tyagi, formerly known as Wasim Rizvi, in connection with the investigation into hate speeches at a Haridwar Dharam Sansad held in December last year.
A bench headed by Justice Ajay Rastogi granting interim bail to Mr Tyagi on medical grounds said he has to give an undertaking that he would not indulge in hate speech and not give any statement to electronic, digital or social media.
It told Mr Tyagi's lawyer, Vikas Singh, to advice his client not to indulge in hate speeches and harmony has to be maintained in society.
The lawyer for the Uttarakhand government said the maximum punishment for the offence under which Mr Tyagi was booked has three years of punishment.
