The Patiala House Court in Delhi has granted bail to Vinesh Chandel, the director of political consultancy firm Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), a day after West Bengal concluded its assembly elections.

The court's decision came after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) did not oppose Chandel's bail plea, stating he had cooperated with their investigation. "In view of the voluntary and purposeful cooperation..ED is not opposing the present bail application," the agency told the court.
