Romi, identified as a key conspirator in the 2016 Nabha jailbreak in Punjab, has been released on bail. The decision was handed down by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, marking a significant legal development in a case that has remained high-profile for years. In addition to the primary jailbreak case, a Nabha court has granted him bail in a separate case involving charges under the Arms Act.

The 2016 incident involved an armed group storming the Nabha maximum-security jail, resulting in the escape of several high-profile inmates, including Khalistani militant Harminder Singh Mintoo. The jailbreak was widely reported as a major security failure at the time, leading to multiple arrests and investigations into the coordination behind the breach. Romi’s role as a conspirator has been a central focus of the prosecution's narrative regarding how the escape was organized and executed. While the court has now granted bail, the legal proceedings concerning his alleged involvement in the broader conspiracy are expected to continue.
