No blasphemy crime in India- lawyer

Advocate DP Singh, appearing on behalf of Sharmishtha Panoli, said during a hearing in the court that no cognizable offense is made in the complaint against Sharmistha. Ishaninda is not a crime in India. The lawyer has informed the court that Sharmistha was responding to the Pakistani girl in her video. Sharmishtha removed the disputed video and immediately apologized. The court heard the arguments of both the parties and found that there is no need to interrogate Sharishtha anymore. Therefore interim bail can be granted. The court has also directed the police that if Sharmishtha Panoli is in danger of her social media post, then she should be given security.
