A magistrate court in Karnataka's Udupi on Friday granted conditional bail to three female students accused of taking a video of another student in a college washroom. A case was registered by Malpe police against the three students and the college management on July 25. This comes as a fresh row erupted over National Commission for Women member Khushbu Sundar's visit to Udupi to find out about the alleged washroom filming case at a paramedical college.

A magistrate court in Udupi granted conditional bail to three female students accused, news agency PTI reported. As per news agency ANI, the court sought a bond of Rs 20,000 each from them and told them to furnish a surety.

Earlier in the day, the students surrendered before the Additional Civil Judge and Judicial Magistrate First Class Court of Judge Shyam Prakash. 

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday questioned the need for a visit of NCW member Khushbu Sundar to Udupi when the body has not gone to Manipur, where two women were molested and paraded naked recently.

"Is this incident in Udupi of that magnitude," he asked while talking to reporters, as reported by PTI.

"Let them come, I don't say -- who has to come, who has to see -- all that. Manipur incident...I don't know what to call it, and there the commission has not gone. Is this incident in Udupi of that magnitude?" Parameshwara said in response to a poser regarding the NCW's visit.  

"I don't say -- you don't come. Why should you come -- I don't say that. I'm not the person to say that. Let them come, but you should also say what you found. Was there any video of this incident or anything?" he remarked.

The Manipur incident that Parameshwara referred to is the video that showed two women paraded naked and molested by a group of men on May 4 in Kangpokpi district that surfaced on July 19 and prompted a countrywide outrage.
