The Rajasthan High Court released Vishal Gurjar, the main accused in the Udaipur Files video blackmail case, on a ₹50,000 personal bond after seven months of detention.
The Rajasthan High Court on Thursday ordered the release of Vishal Gurjar, identified as the principal accused in the Udaipur Files video blackmail investigation. Gurjar had been in judicial custody for roughly seven months before the court granted bail.
The bench set the bail conditions at a personal bond of ₹50,000 along with an equivalent surety amount, directing the authorities to secure his release on those terms. No additional restrictions or conditions were reported at the time of the order.
The Udaipur Files case, which revolves around alleged extortion through compromising video material, has attracted significant media attention across the state. While the bail decision clears Gurjar of immediate detention, the investigation and trial are expected to continue under the supervision of the Rajasthan police and the judiciary.
Legal experts note that the bail grant does not imply acquittal; it merely reflects the court's assessment of the risk of flight and the strength of the prosecution's evidence at this stage.
