Assam journalist Dilwar Hussain Majumdar granted bail

Senior journalist Dilwar Hussain Majumdar has been granted bail by the Kamrup Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court. However, he remains in custody as he has been unable to submit the required bail bond for his release.
 

Majumdar was arrested late Tuesday night following his confrontation with Dambaru Saikia, Managing Director of Assam Cooperative Apex Bank, during a protest against alleged corruption. 
 

The charges against him - Sections 351(2)/3(1)(r) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015 - sparked concerns over procedural handling and press freedom.
 

Due to his inability to submit the bail bond, Majumdar will remain in judicial custody tonight and is expected to be released tomorrow once the formalities are completed. 
 

His legal team is working on fulfilling the necessary conditions for his release. Further updates are awaited.
