Twitter Furious as Rape Accused Gets Bail for Being a ‘Talented Student’

The Gauhati High Court granted bail to the accused for being a 'talented student' and a 'future asset'

The Gauhati High Court in a recent judgement regarding the IIT rape case granted bail to the accused because he was a 'talented student' making him a potential asset for the country.

The 21-year-old accused was arrested on 3 April after allegedly sexually harassing a female student on 28 April this year. Now, the court has granted this suspended student bail.

The reasoning behind his bail has drawn a lot of flak on Twitter, and users are not happy that the accused might get away with it only because he is apparently talented.

Here is how users reacted:

So, now a talented student can do anything. Bdw, he is not an asset but a liability to the society.
If it is so easy for a rape accused to get bail, then how can we expect such heinous crime to end. https://t.co/byxqyN23ZN
