Bhima Koregaon: SC gives Mahesh Raut interim bail

The terms of the bail will be decided by a special court of the National Investigation Authority.

The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail from June 26 to July 10 to Mahesh Raut, a tribal rights activist who was arrested for allegedly provoking violence in Bhima Koregaon in 2018.

Interim bail has been given because Raut needs to attend rituals after the death of his grandmother, according to news agency ANI.

The terms of the bail will be decided by a special court of the National Investigation Authority.

While imprisoned in Taloja, 33-year-old Raut also managed to clear his law entrance test on May 3, 2024.
