The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday granted bail to Vikas Barala, who was booked on the charges of stalking and attempting to abduct a 29-year-old woman. Vikas is the son of Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala.
His petition for bail had been dismissed four times by a trial court.
On Tuesday, 9 January, the victim, Varnika Kundu, was grilled by Barala's counsel for five hours and asked nearly 500 questions about her personal life - from the friends she has and to whether her mother had been told of the incident when it took place.
On 4 August 2017, when Kundu was returning home from work and at around 11.15 pm in Chandigarh, Barala, along with a friend, allegedly stalked her by chasing her car.
The incident had triggered widespread outrage and a spate of protests across the country.
Charges have already been framed against Vikas Barala, and his friend Ashish Kumar, in connection with the stalking case involving the daughter of a senior IAS officer.
Vikas Barala and his friend Ashish Kumar were arrested in the month of August in connection with the case.
