AGARTALA, July 29 (TIWN): 3 days after detention of the I-PAC crew members, Tripura Police had lodged FIRs against them which turned into a ground of petition in Court today. The allegations which were brought against the team were found invalid and the CJM Court has granted an "unconditional" bail of all the 23 members of the I-PAC team. Eminent Advocate cum Tripura Congress President Pijush Biswas had appeared in the Court on behalf of the I-PAC team. Pijush Biswas said, "FIRs were lodged against 23 members of the PK's team . Obeying the law, all of them have surrendered today before the Court. The Public Prosecutor told the court not to release them "unconditionally" but I opposed that on the ground that the nature of allegations are baseless".

"The Court has agreed to bail them out unconditionally. Judge has rejected the Govt side's appeal and accepted our petition. Disaster Management Act was added in the FIR filed against them. The FIR was lodged the day before yesterday but the team members were arrested before that, when there was no allegation. They have been detained, they have been tortured, they have been harassed", Biswas said.

Adv Pijush Biswas further said that legal actions will be taken against the illegal steps taken by the State Govt in this matter, because the detained persons had Covid negative reports with them.

"After having Covid negative reports, how can such an illegal detention be held? Moreover, 3 days before the FIR, they were detained under which jurisdiction ???", asked Pijush Biswas.
