The Rajasthan High Court rejected bail pleas of five accused in the Kanhaiya Lal murder case, describing the act as terrorism that wounds the nation’s psyche.
The Rajasthan High Court on Thursday dismissed the bail applications filed by five individuals charged in the murder of journalist Kanhaiya Lal. The bench held that the alleged act falls under the ambit of terrorism and therefore warrants stringent judicial scrutiny.

The decision adds to the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the high‑profile killing, underscoring the judiciary’s resolve to address acts that threaten democratic values and public safety.
