In a turn of events, the Noida Police acknowledged an error in imposing the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act on Yadav, attributing it to a clerical mistake. This development came after the NDPS Act was removed, making bail under this act notoriously difficult to obtain.
Yadav’s legal proceedings continued as his bail application was heard in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Jaihind Kumar Singh. The court reserved its order, which is anticipated to be delivered post-lunch, according to Yadav’s lawyer, Advocate Prashant Rathi.
The YouTuber’s arrest stirred controversy, with accusations under multiple legal provisions including the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, the Wildlife Protection Act, and the Indian Penal Code. However, with bail granted, Yadav’s legal battle takes a new trajectory as he awaits further developments in the ongoing investigation.
