Amid high security and celebrations, Kanhaiya released from Tihar

New Delhi, Mar 3 (IBNS): JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, who was arrested on sedition charges last month, walked out free from the Tihar Jail in New Delhi on Thursday evening amid high security.
As Kumar walked out free, his supporters indulged in celebrations. 
 
Kumar was granted an interim bail of six months on Wednesday.
 
The Delhi High Court granted him bail on a surety of Rs 10,000.
 
Several JNU students were arrested for allegedly glorifying Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and being part of an event where anti-India slogans were raised, triggering a nationwide debate that sharply divided the people.
 
Kumar was arrested first on sedition charges after anti-India slogans were raised inside the JNU campus at the event.
  
Later other students, including Umar Khalid, surrendered to police. 
 
Kanhaiya was also beaten up inside court premises earlier.
 
He claimed that he was beaten and almost disrobed in the presence of police personnel in Patiala House Court premises which looked like a mute spectator on Feb 17, according to a new video that surfaced capturing his account of the incident before lawyers.
 
The alleged incident happened when a group of lawyers beat Kanhaiya, students, teachers and mediapersons in the court premises on Feb 17.
