Motor sport manager Setna granted bail

Motor sport manager Yohann Setna was granted bail after he was put behind bars by Chennai police on Saturday following his confession to have tampered with a video featuring ace rally navigator Vivek Ponnuswamy.

Vivek, who has been a navigator to some of the premier drivers in the country, lodged a complaint against Yohann around ten days ago, citing that, the latter, Narain Karthikeyan’s former manager, had tampered with a 40-minute video originally posted on Youtube by driver Samir Thapar. The video became an instant hit in the cyber world. As a case was registered by the Cyber Crime Cell of the Central Crime Branch and as per instruction of Commissioner of Police Chennai, S George IPS, a special team was put up to take Yohann into custody for the fraudulant act.

Yohann was taken into custody from a hotel in Chennai where he had checked in as a manager for a JK Tyre event at Irungattukotai. During the interrogation, Yohann confessed to have uploaded an edited video as a result of which he was arrested. 

Later in the evening, he was granted bail by a city court.
