The bail comes with several stringent conditions, including the immediate surrender of his passport and a restriction from leaving Ernakulam district. Additionally, Ranjith has been ordered to execute a bond of ₹1 lakh, provide two solvent sureties, and appear before the investigating officer every Monday for the next three months or until a charge sheet is filed.
