‘Hacker’ Sriki gets bail in hotel brawl case

Cyber hacker Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki has secured bail in the hotel brawl case.

Arrested last week for assault and for offences punishable under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, Sriki was remanded in judicial custody by a court on Monday. He got bail on Tuesday, said a police officer. Police have sent his laptop for forensic investigation.

Sriki’s friend Vishnu Bhat, who was arrested along with him from a five-start hotel in eastern Bengaluru, was supplied illicit drugs by an African, said an officer from the JB Nagar police station.

While Sriki was remanded in judicial custody upon his arrest, Bhat was sent in police custody for questioning.
