Surat, Sept 19 (IBNS): Hours after he was arrested, a court here granted bail to Hardik Patel, the 22-year-old leader of Gujarat's Patel community, on Saturday.

He was detained and later arrested by the police after he tried to take out a protest march here.

Internet services has been suspended across the state for 24 hours following Patel's detention.

Gujarat authorities on Friday denied permission to Patel for his  'Ekta Yatra'.

"We will request the people of Gujarat to support our cause. We are not against any community. We are just fighting to get reservation for our community," Hardik had told reporters on Friday.

In the past two weeks, Hardik had twice announced to take out the "reverse Dandi March", but he had to cancel  the plan after the district administration denied permission.
