Actress Urmila Sanawar has been granted bail in Haridwar in a case arising from an FIR that followed an alleged 5 crore rupee ransom demand, her advocate Preeti Singh Chauhan said.
Chauhan said the court considered arguments about the sections applied in the case, their validity and whether the allegations established an offence under those provisions. Bail was granted after the arguments, she said.
Bail bonds and release process
According to Chauhan, the court will issue an order recording that bail has been allowed. Her legal team will then submit bail bonds of fifty thousand rupees each tomorrow.
Sanawar will be released after those bonds are submitted, the advocate said. The available account does not provide any further details about conditions attached to the bail order.
The hearing had been scheduled for afternoon one:00. The bail decision was announced in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
Details of the FIR
Chauhan said the case began with an FIR registered on October 25, 2026, following a complaint by Deepika Rathore, the daughter of former MLA Suresh Rathore.
According to the allegation described by the advocate, Rathore received a WhatsApp call from an account associated with Urmila Sanawar. The caller allegedly demanded 5 crore rupees in exchange for documents.
The allegation has been recorded as the basis of the FIR. The available information does not establish the allegation as a court finding, and no conviction has been reported.
The Times of India reported on 25 October 2026 that police had arrested Sanawar in connection with the complaint. That report is consistent with the subsequent bail development but does not change the status of the allegations.
What happens next
The immediate next step is the submission of the bail bonds. Chauhan said this would take place tomorrow, after which Sanawar would be released.
The latest account identifies the complainant, the alleged demand and the court’s bail decision. It does not provide details of the precise legal sections, the documents mentioned in the complaint or any further hearing date.
Conclusion
Urmila Sanawar has received bail in the Haridwar FIR linked to an alleged 5 crore rupee demand. Her release is expected after her lawyers submit bail bonds of fifty thousand rupees each tomorrow.
