Utsav Sharma, who inflicted injuries on the former Haryana Director General of Police S.P.S. Rathore on Monday, was granted bail by a local court here on Friday.
The 29-year-old, said to be suffering from a psychological disorder, was enlarged on bail by a Civil Judge-cum-Magistrate Palwinderjit Kaur on a bond of Rs.50,000. The court fixed February 24 as the next date of hearing.
Sharma, a student of the National Institute of Design Ahmedabad, stabbed Rathore thrice in the face with a pocket knife.
He was arrested immediately and remanded to police custody. The incident occurred when Mr. Rathore was coming out of the court after a hearing. Rathore is accused of molesting a teenager in 1990, who subsequently committed suicide.
