A court in Mumbai granted bail to YouTuber 'Hindustani Bhau' alias Vikas Fhatak in a case pertaining to the protests held by students near Maharashtra Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad's residence last month seeking cancellation of offline board exams for Classes 10 and 12.

Additional sessions Judge PB Jadhav allowed his bail application on a surety of Rs 30,000. Mumbai police had arrested Fhatak earlier this month after it emerged from a video that he had asked students to assemble near Gaikwad's residence to demand cancellation of offline exams for Classes 10 and 12 in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
