New Delhi: Former Delhi University professor SAR Geelani, who was arrested under sedition charges in connection with a Press Club event, has been granted bail by a Delhi Court on Saturday.

At the Press Club event, a group had allegedly shouted slogans hailing Guru, following which the police had lodged a case under sections 124A (sedition), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 149 (unlawful assembly) of the IPC against Geelani and other unnamed persons.
The police had claimed to have registered the FIR taking suo motu cognisance of media clips of the incident.
