Fact Check:
DFRAC team investigated the viral claim on social media. Our team found that on April 2, Anuj Kumar Bajpai (@AnujBajpai_) had claimed that the Madurai court found no fault in Manish Kashyap. To verify the truth, when our team searched on Google, we found a report published by ABP News on April 3.
According to the report, Manish Kashyap was presented in the Madurai court, where the Tamil Nadu police had demanded a seven-day remand. The Madurai court has put Manish Kashyap in judicial custody. The court will announce its decision on the demand for remand on Wednesday.
According to the Daily Jagran’s news published on April 4, Manish Kashyap has not been granted bail. The Madurai court has put him in judicial custody.
Conclusion:
DFRAC’s fact-check makes it clear that the Madurai court has put Manish Kashyap in judicial custody. The court has not reprimanded Tamil Nadu, nor has it acknowledged that Manish Kashyap is in no way at fault. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is wrong.
