A court in Gujarat’s Junagadh district granted bail to Islamic preacher Mufti Salman Azhari and two others in connection with a “hate speech” case registered against them.
Chief Judicial Magistrate SA Pathan granted bail to Mumbai-based Azhari and two other persons — both local residents who had organised the religious event in Junagadh on January 31 where the preacher allegedly delivered an inflammatory speech.
As soon as Azhari and his co-accused, Mohammad Yousuf Malek and Azim Habib Odedara, were produced before the court after their one-day police remand ended at 4 pm and sent in judicial custody, their lawyers moved pleas for their regular bail.
