Nagpur-based cartoonist Aseem Trivedi, arrested on charges of sedition, has been granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 5000.
He was lodged in the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.
His arrest was based on the complaint of a Mumbai lawyer who took umbrage at Mr Trivedi's anti-corruption cartoons, especially one that re-interpreted the Ashok Chakra national emblem - wolves replaced the three lions to show ravenous corruption.
Activists like Arvind Kejriwal have threatened to start a protest outside the Arthur Road jail on Saturday if the accusations of sedition are not removed. | |
