Court Grants Bail to Cybe in Punjab CM Video Case, Says No Forensic Evidence Yet

A Punjab court has granted bail to the accused Cybe in the ongoing CM video case, ruling that no forensic evidence has yet been presented to substantiate the organised crime charge. The decision was made after a hearing where the defence argued that the prosecution had failed to provide any tangible forensic proof linking Cybe to the alleged wrongdoing.
The CM video case, which has attracted significant media attention, involves allegations that a video featuring the Punjab Chief Minister was manipulated to implicate Cybe in an organised crime network. The court noted that while the prosecution presented circumstantial evidence, it did not meet the threshold required for a bail denial.
In its order, the judge emphasised the importance of forensic evidence in cases of this nature, stating that without such evidence the charge remains unsubstantiated. The court also directed the prosecution to produce any relevant forensic findings before the next hearing.
The bail ruling is seen as a procedural win for Cybe, but the case remains open. Law enforcement agencies are expected to continue their investigation, and the next court appearance is scheduled for the coming weeks.
