The accused was granted bail by the court of additional district and sessions judge, Altafur Rehman, on Monday.
The accused was allegedly arrested by the personnel of Special Branch on Feb 25 when he came out of Falcon Residential Complex, where his residence is situated, on the University Road. A case was registered against him at University Town police station under section 14 of the Foreigners Act.
The accused was released from the prison amid tight security. He was taken from the prison in a police pick-up truck. A large number of media persons were present outside the prison.
