According to the Hindustantimes.com, a city court has granted bail to all the four organisers who were arrested last month for cheating after a concert of US band METALLICA was cancelled. The session court on Saturday granted bail to Rajesh Kumar, general manager of DNA Entertainment Networks and his three team members: Umesh Chinara, Ashok Singh, and Saviou Faleiro. All the four were arrested and booked for cheating fans after the show on October 28 was called off, leading to chaos at the venue.
The court granted them bail against surety bonds of Rs 30,000 each and all the accused have been asked not to leave the country without court's permission till the case is pending.
