Bengaluru, Jun 12: Amulya Leona Noronha, who was jailed for over three months on charges of sedition and creating communal disharmony, the 5th ACMM court granted her bail under the default provision CrPC 167(2) on Thursday June 11.
Earlier on Wednesday, Amulya was denied bail by a sessions court saying that ‘she may abscond and involve herself in similar offences’.
A student of journalism and English at a Bengaluru college, has been accused of sedition after she was caught saying 'Pakistan Zindabad' in front of people who had gathered to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in city's Freedom Park area on February 20.
The police had booked Amulya under charges of sedition and promoting enmity between groups, although her friends claimed she was trying to convey a message of universal humanity by chanting zindabad in the name of all nations, including Pakistan and India.
Amulya is expected to walk out of Parappana Agrahara jail after the release order is passed on Friday, June 12.
