Lakha Sidhana and Mohanjit Granted Bail, Reach Dharn in Punjab

Punjab police confirmed that Lakha Sidhana and Mohanjit were granted bail by the court and were taken out of custody on Wednesday. After their release, the two men travelled to a dharna organized by their supporters in the state. The dharna, a peaceful sit‑in protest, is intended to draw attention to the circumstances surrounding their detention. Authorities said the bail order did not impose any travel restrictions, allowing the pair to join the gathering without delay. The police are monitoring the protest to ensure it remains orderly.

The court’s decision to grant bail came after the petition filed by the defendants’ legal counsel was heard. No further details about the charges or the bail conditions were disclosed in the statement released by the police. The event has attracted media coverage across Punjab, with local outlets reporting on the supporters’ slogans and demands.

Law enforcement officials reiterated that while the dharna is lawful, any breach of peace will be dealt with according to the law. They also urged the public to avoid congestion around the protest site and to cooperate with security personnel.

The incident underscores the heightened public interest in cases involving high‑profile detainees in the region, and it is expected that the court will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
