Special court judge Rajesh Katariya allowed Gadling's plea for temporary bail from December 25, 2023 to January 2, 2024 for attending the wedding on furnishing a personal recognizance (PR) bond of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of the same amount.
The court directed him to furnish details of his journey from Mumbai to Nagpur to the Superintendent of Police (SP) of the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The court asked him not to tamper with the prosecution evidence and also directed that he shall not contact any of the witnesses for any purpose.
