Mamata morphed image: SC grants bail to BJP activist

The Supreme Court today granted bail to BJP activist Priyanka Sharma arrested for allegedly posting a morphed image of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on social media. <br />'' <br />'' The Court, however, asked Priyanka Sharma to apologise, while observing that freedom of speech ends when it infringes upon others' rights. <br />'' <br />'' A vacation bench comprising justices Indira Banerjee and Sanjiv Khanna said Priyanka Sharma, a BJP Yuva Morcha leader, will apologise in writing upon her release from jail.<br />'' <br />'' During the hearing, the bench observed that since Sharma is a member of a political party, the insinuation of posting such a picture will be different from those shared by common people. <br />'' <br />'' Priyanka Sharma was arrested on 10th of this month by the West Bengal Police and was sent to two weeks' judicial custody. <br />''  <br />
