SC’s order to forthwith release Priyanka Sharma wasn't followed for 24 hours: Lawyer

May 15, 2019

New Delhi, May 15 (ANI): While addressing the media in the national capital today, Priyanka Sharma's lawyer Neeraj Kishan Kaul said, “I'm told, subject to verification, that she was released at 9:40-10:00 am and that too after made to sign a statement prepared by the police authorities. It reflects extremely disturbing trend that the Supreme Court’s (SC) order that said 'forthwith release her' wasn't followed for 24 hours.” Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) youth wing worker Priyanka Sharma was granted conditional bail by the SC on Tuesday. Priyanka Sharma was arrested for posting an objectionable and morphed picture of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on her social media account.
