The Rajasthan High Court has granted bail to a man accused of morphing a minor girl’s photo and sharing it on social media. The court imposed strict conditions, including a three-year ban on using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. The accused must submit an affidavit promising not to use social media during this period.
The bail order also prohibits the accused from contacting the victim or her family members. If he violates these conditions by using social media, his bail may be revoked. The case involves allegations of morphing the girl’s photo and sharing it online, leading to the court’s decision to restrict his social media usage.
The accused has been in custody since April 2, 2026, and the court found further interrogation unnecessary. The defence argued that the accused was falsely implicated and had no criminal history apart from the photo incident. The court emphasized the misuse of social media and imposed the ban to prevent any future misuse by the accused.
The Rajasthan High Court emphasized the seriousness of misusing social media platforms and the need for the accused to learn from this experience. The accused has been directed to provide a bond and sureties for his release. Additionally, he must comply with various conditions, including not tampering with evidence or engaging in criminal activities.
