US National William gets conditional bail
Bhubaneswar: US national William Michel Hurtubise
(27) whose bail plea was rejected on September 27 this year by a local court
here got a sigh of relief on Monday after the Sessions Court granted
conditional bail on a surety deposit of Rs 50,000 after a month of his arrest.
William was arrested on September 18 by the
commissionerate police on the charge of possessing illegal ammunition of eight
live bullets in his luggage during a routine check at the Biju Patnaik Airport
here.
William was released on conditional bail on Monday
evening from Jharpada Special Jail here. However, he would not be able to leave
the country or the state till he is acquitted by the court or found not guilty
during investigation by the Commissionerate Police.
“The Session court hearing the bail application of
William granted him conditional bail on Rs 50,000 surety deposit. The court
directed him to surrender his pass port and Visa with the sub divisional judicial
magistrate (SDJM) court here. The court also granted bail on the condition that
he would appear before the court till the trial is not over,” said William’s
counsel Raj Kishore Das.
“The case is under investigation and we would file a
fresh petition in this connection with the court here after consulting with
William,” Das added.
