Hardik Patel gets bail from Gujarat HC in sedition charges
Ahmedabad, July 8 (IBNS) Hardik Patel, the 22 year old leader of the agitating Patel community who had gathered a large number of people behind him, has been granted bail by the Gujarat High Court which had earlier upheld sedition charges against him, said reports on Friday.
But reports said he has to stay out of his home state for six months.
The High Court had last year asked the police to scrap charges of promoting enmity between two communities or groups as Hardik's speeches for Patidars did not refer to hostility against any community.
Hardik was arrested by the Ahmedabad crime branch on the charges of sedition and waging war against the government. He had filed a plea in the Gujarat HC seeking to have the FIR against him quashed.
