Editor held for 'incendiary' report gets bail

A court in the Manipur capital granted bail on Sunday to Wangkhemcha Shamjai, editor-in-chief of an evening daily, in a case filed against him for publishing an allegedly incendiary report. Shamjai, a former president of the All Manipur Working Journalists' Union, was arrested on Friday and remanded in police custody for three days. "The accused, being a senior citizen and deeply rooted in society, is not a flight risk and also has a heart problem. As such, there would be no chance of him hampering the investigation," the court of the first-class judicial magistrate (Imphal West-II) said.
