The Delhi court has granted bail to Bhim Army's Chandrashekhar Azad aka "Raavan". He was arrested for protest against Citizenship Act at Jama Masjid.
Hearing the bail request of Azad, Delhi court on tuesday had asserted "it is one's constitutional right to protest" and people were out on streets because "inside parliament, things which should have been said were not said". The judge, questioning Delhi Police on the charges listed against Chandrashekhar Azad, said: "You are behaving as if Jama Masjid is Pakistan. Even if it was Pakistan, you can go there and protest. Pakistan was a part of undivided India."
The Bhim Army chief was arrested on December 21 over a dramatic protest a day before at the iconic Jama Masjid in the old quarters of Delhi, where he surfaced suddenly despite heavy police presence and slipped away after being taken into custody. He was arrested a day later and charged with arson and rioting.
