New Delhi:
Disha Ravi, the 22-year-old climate change activist charged with sedition after being arrested February 13 in connection with a toolkit relating to the farmers protest, walked out of Delhi s Tihar Jail late Tuesday night, hours after she was granted bail.
Shortly before she was released Ms Ravi s mother spoke to NDTV and expressed joy at her daughter s return, saying that she had kept trust in the country s legal system.
Earlier on Tuesday, Additional Sessions Court Judge Dharmendra Rana said there was scanty and sketchy evidence against Ms Ravi and that I do not find any palpable reason to breach rule of bail for a 22-year-old girl who has absolutely no criminal antecedent .
