On April 17, 2023 (Today), the Supreme Court bench granted bail to TMC (Trinamool Congress) Spokesperson Saket Gokhale in relation to a misappropriation of funds case.

During the hearing, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju informed the top Court that the TMC spokesperson was in jail for 108 days. He was arrested on December 30th by the Ahmedabad Cybercrime branch from Delhi.  Gokhale was alleged of collecting Rs. 72 lakhs from more than 1,700 persons via the crowdfunding platform ‘our democracy’ and misused the money for personal matters.
