A Patna court has recently stated that YouTuber Manish Kashyap, arrested for allegedly circulating fake videos of migrant labourers being attacked in Tamil Nadu, will now remain in Beur Central Jail, Bihar.
Kashyap, who was brought to Bihar from Tamil Nadu’s Madurai jail, was produced before the Patna Civil Court in connection with the cases filed by the Economic Offences Unit of Bihar police.
Numerous FIRs were registered against him in Tamil Nadu and Bihar.
Kashyap’s lawyer Shivnandan Bharti told reporters, “Since he has been given bail in cases registered against him in Tamil Nadu, the judge said he will remain in Bihar’s jail now. Whenever required, he will be produced in the court of Tamil Nadu through video conferencing.”
In March 2023, the EOU arrested Manish Kashyap alias Tripurari Kumar and two others on the circulating charges of fake videos showcasing attacks on migrants from Bihar working in Tamil Nadu.
