Delhi Court Grants Bail to 9 IYC Workers in AI Summit Protest Case

• A Delhi court granted bail to nine Indian Youth Congress (IYC) workers arrested for a "shirtless" protest at the AI summit.
• The court stated the protest was a symbolic political critique and pre-trial detention could be "illicit pre-emptive punishment."
• Judicial Magistrate First Class Ravi passed the order, noting no property defacement or delegate panic occurred.
• Delhi Police opposed bail, citing injuries to personnel and slogans against the India-US trade deal in front of international media.
• IYC workers protested on February 20 with T-shirts featuring PM Modi and Donald Trump, along with slogans like "PM is compromised."
