Shillong, Dec 11: A law student, accused of sexual assault on a woman during an event in the city last month, was granted interim bail by the Meghalaya High Court.
However, the court asked the accused not to tamper with any evidence or contact the complainant.
He was also directed to cooperate with the investigation procedures.
According to the complaint, the victim was sexually assaulted while she was resting in a room at Arunachal Boys’ Hostel on November 19, 2025.
The accused had approached the High Court after his anticipatory bail application was rejected by the Sessions Judge, Shillong.
“As prayed for, in the meantime, the applicant is allowed to go on interim bail,” Justice W Diengdoh said in his order passed on Wednesday.
The court has directed the Investigating Officer to produce the case diary on the next hearing, scheduled for December 16.
