Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan walked out of jail on bail on Thursday, over two years after he was arrested for allegedly trying to instigate violence after the death of a woman in Hathras.
The release came almost six weeks after the Allahabad High Court granted him bail in a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate. In September, the Supreme Court granted him bail in another case under the the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
A day earlier, his lawyer submitted two sureties of `1 lakh each at the special PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court here, fulfilling a bail condition.
