Quick Summary: On February 27, 2026, the Delhi High Court allowed Rohit to be released from jail while awaiting trial. He was accused of robbery in Chitranjan Park. The case involved conflicting CCTV evidence and a delayed complaint.
Rohit was arrested in connection with a robbery that happened on November 28, 2024, in Chitranjan Park, Delhi. The police report, filed two days later, accused him and others of breaking into a house, threatening the people inside, and stealing an anklet.
The case presented unusual challenges with conflicting CCTV footage. At first, the footage showed something different than what was described in the police report. Later, new footage appeared, showing a fight and the alleged theft. These differences raised questions about what really happened.
"The CCTV footages shown during arguments presented completely different pictures."
Rohit's lawyer argued for his release, pointing out the inconsistencies and the fact that others accused in the case were already granted bail. The other side disagreed, but the judge said these issues should be sorted out in a full trial.
Judge Girish Kathpalia allowed Rohit to be released from jail, saying there was no reason to keep him locked up at this point. Rohit was released after promising to pay Rs. 10,000 if he does not follow the court's rules.
"Presently, there is no reason to deny liberty to the accused/applicant."
The court decided to let Rohit out of jail while the trial continues, due to the conflicting evidence and the fact that others involved were already released. The trial will continue to look into these differences to find out what really happened.
