JAIPUR:

Additional advocate general of Rajasthan Shiv Mangal Sharma said, "The SC granted a bail to Mohd Sarvar Azmi on May 17, 2023. However, the Rajasthan government has opposed the decision stating that he is planning to flee to Uttar Pradesh. The State suggested imposing stricter alternative conditions to ensure continued surveillance and regular contact."

Following the development, the SC bench comprising justices BR Gawai and KV Viswanathan allowed the accused to leave the town but only after submitting his contact details to the ATS.
