According to court sources, Milan Pradhan has been granted this interim bail in exchange for a personal bond of Rs 20,000. However, several strict conditions have also been imposed for getting bail. According to the court's order, the accused Congress candidate will have to immediately submit his active phone number to the IO (Investigating Officer) of Nandigram and Khejuri police stations. He has been given this legal exemption on the condition that he maintains uninterrupted communication with the police administration and fully cooperates in the investigation. According to political circles, this bail of Milan Pradhan just before the by-election has given a great moral strength to the Congress camp. So far, he has not been able to campaign vigorously in his own assembly constituency due to legal complications. However, this time, there is no legal obstacle to creating a storm in the campaign by biting the ground of high-profile Nandigram. Political analysts are now looking at how he changes the political equation before the expiry of this interim bail, which is valid until October 20.
