After the Rajasthan High Court granted conditional bail, former SDM slap accused Naresh Meena was released from Tonk jail on Wednesday, receiving a warm welcome from his supporters.
The Rajasthan High Court on Wednesday ordered the release of Naresh Meena, who had been incarcerated in connection with the SDM slap incident, by granting him conditional bail. He was taken out of the Tonk jail shortly after the court order was served.
Supporters gathered at the jail premises and greeted Meena with enthusiastic applause and chants as he stepped out, signalling strong local backing for the former official.
In a brief interaction with the media, Meena expressed full confidence in the judicial system, stating that the court’s decision reaffirmed his faith in the rule of law.
He had remained in custody since his arrest over the alleged assault on a Sub‑Divisional Magistrate, and his release marks a significant development in the case.
