Overview

  • The Saket Court approved release on a reported bail bond of ₹5 lakh, with a detailed order awaited.
  • Modi was detained at Delhi’s IGI Airport on September 19 following an FIR by a former colleague at New Friends Colony Police Station under BNS sections 64 (rape) and 351 (criminal intimidation).
  • Police had earlier sought short custody to recover electronic evidence, citing alleged use of multiple phones and a Look-Out Circular preceding the airport detention.
  • Proceedings have been held in-camera at the complainant’s request to protect privacy.
  • The defence disputes the accusations as an extortion attempt, pointing to August complaints and WhatsApp material alleging a ₹50 crore demand.
