New Delhi, June 17: Student activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha walked out of Tihar Jail here on Thursday evening after they were granted bail in the northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case, and vowed to continue their struggle.
The release of the trio, arrested in May last year under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), came after a lower court order. Their friends and family members had gathered outside the jail before their release. JNU students Narwal and Kalita thanked their friends and well-wishers, many of whom gathered outside the jail, for supporting them during their year-long stay behind bars.
As soon as the Pinjra Tod activist-duo walked out of Tihar, they were greeted with slogans of ‘Lal Salaam’, ‘Natasha Zindabad’, ‘Devangana Zindabad’.
Slogans were also raised in memory of Natasha’s father, Mahavir Narwal, who succumbed to the coronavirus last month. Tanha walked out of a separate jail gate. (PTI)
