The four college students who were booked for tailing Irani’s car on Saturday evening in a state of inebriation were granted bail.

The FIR has been filed against them under Section 354 D (stalking) and Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The four students had consumed alcohol at a friend’s birthday party. On their way back home, they started chasing down the Union Minister’s car, the Delhi Police said.
