HYDERABAD: Justice G Sridevi of the Telangana high court on Monday granted bail to Chintapandu Naveen Kumar alias Teenmar Mallanna with certain conditions.
According to his counsel, the freelance journalist-cumpolitical activist has been in the eye of a storm ever since his aggressive speeches against the current state government incurred the wrath of the state. Multiple FIRs were registered against him at various police stations and the high court earlier asked the police not to do so and they can, instead, add the new material if any, to the existing ones. Justice Sridevi imposed certain conditions that Mallanna should appear before the investigators twice a month and regularly before the trial court. “He should not influence the witnesses or indulge in inflammatory speeches ,” Sridevi said.
