Mumbai: Auto driver jailed for making lewd remarks to woman gets bail after 1 month
The complainant said the incident occurred while she was travelling from Oshiwara's Fun Republic area to Juhu Versova Link Road between 6:42 am and 7:05 am.
Granting bail, the court noted that the investigation did not require any further recovery or seizure from the accused. It also observed that the offences invoked carry a maximum punishment ranging from two to three years.
The judge said the concerns raised by the complainant and the prosecution could be addressed through stringent bail conditions. The court directed Bairgi's release on a personal bond of Rs 25,000 with one surety of the same amount.
As part of the conditions, he has been barred from contacting, stalking or approaching the complainant, entering her residential or educational premises, tampering with evidence, influencing witnesses, or engaging in similar conduct. He has also been directed to regularly mark his attendance at the DN Nagar police station.- EndsPublished By: Prateek ChakrabortyPublished On: Jul 17, 2026 23:14 IST
