His wife, Savi Kumar is suffering from acute lower back pain and now needs an urgent operation.

While granting bail to Kumar till November 12, 2022, the court said that two security personnel would keep a strict vigil on him which would cost the state Rs. 10,000 per day. The cost would be borne by the accused, the court directed further.
