After spending 20 days in jail, two Zee group editors were granted bail on Monday by a Delhi court in the case of alleged Rs 100 crore extortion bid from Congress MP Naveen Jindal's firm.
"Bail is granted to both the accused," Additional Sessions Judge Raj Rani Mitra said allowing the plea of Zee news editor Sudhir Chaudhary and Zee business editor Samir Ahluwalia who were arrested by the Delhi police on November 27.
The court said both of them will be released on furnishing a bail bond and surety of Rs 50,000 each. They were directed to surrender their passports and not leave the
country without the permission of the court, which also asked them to cooperate with the investigation.
