Kolkata, June 4 -- The Calcutta high court on Tuesday refused to grant ad-interim bail to social media influencer Sharmishta Panoli, noting freedom of speech doesn't mean someone can hurt the sentiments of others. The bench, however, directed the state to ensure that no further FIRs are filed on the same set of allegations against Panoli, who was arrested on May 30 for controversial comments she made on Operation Sindoor.
