AGARTALA, July 29 (TIWN): In another major jolt for Biplab Deb Govt, Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Agartala has bailed out all the 23 members of the I-PAC team of political strategist Prashant Kishor on Thursday. Though the I-PAC team members did not comment anything in front of the media, but talking to media, Tripura Congress President cum eminent Lawyer Pijush Biswas has slammed the BJP Govt over the illegal detention of the I-PAC crew. 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 is baseless. The Court has agreed to bail them out unconditionally. Judge has rejected Govt side 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 added.
