India Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib, arrested in connection with a “shirtless” protest at the AI summit, secured bail from a magistrate’s court on Saturday, only for it to be stayed by a sessions court hours later. Directing the stay on the bail, additional sessions judge Amit Bansal listed thematter for further hearing on March 6. ADVERTISEMENTEarlier in the day, the Delhi magistrate court granted bail to Chib but later ordered a verification of the documents and bonds furnished by him, adding that he would be in judicial custody till Sunday morning. It directed the Youth Congress president to furnish a surety bond of ₹50,000 and surrender his passport and electronic gadgets. The investigation is at a nascent stage, allegations are serious in nature, hence, his custody is imperative,” the court said.
