Here's a rundown of what happened in the court case involving Mohd. Zuhaib, who was allowed to leave jail temporarily by the Delhi High Court on January 17, 2026.
Mohd. Zuhaib was asking for regular bail in a case filed on October 26, 2024, under sections related to serious crimes like assault and threats in Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. Later, more charges were added. The case was heard by Judge Anup Jairam Bhambhani.
Zuhaib, a 31-year-old gym trainer, was accused by a 40-year-old woman who was going through a divorce. They met at the gym where Zuhaib worked. The woman claimed that Zuhaib asked her to marry him, which she agreed to. She said he later took money, gifts, and even forced her into a relationship by lying.
"We went to Manali and Kashmir. I paid for everything."
Zuhaib was arrested on October 27, 2024, and had been in jail for over a year. His request to leave jail was first opposed, but the woman later said she wouldn't fight it, though she changed her mind again.
Judge Bhambhani noted:
Zuhaib was allowed to leave jail with conditions including:
"The petitioner shall not contact, nor visit, nor offer any inducement, threat or promise to any of the prosecution witnesses."
The court stressed that the claims needed careful examination during the trial, and letting Zuhaib out on bail did not mean he was innocent. This decision allowed Zuhaib to be released while waiting for further proceedings.
