2 years and 11 days after the pediatrician has been in jail (without warrant and without reason), he has been granted bail.
By the Supreme Court.
He shall be released today (May 25th) from Raipur Jail.
The trial of his case with regards to him having links with Maoists will resume in Raipur court today.
Chattisgarh government tried filing a counter affidavit yesterday night. It said Sen would abscond if given bail. Complains about pressure from media campaign and foreign nationals.
Judge says two years is too much. Dismisses prosecution lawyer with one sentence “Bail granted”.
