The Delhi High Court has granted a two-week transit bail to Akash Tanwar, a Delhi resident, accused of inciting communal discord through a social media post regarding the people of Nagaland.

The court clarified that the video's content didn't explicitly target individuals based on caste, even while acknowledging its offensive nature to certain communities.
