Mumbai: Vaibhav Raut, a member of the Hindutva militant group Sanatan Sanstha, received an grand welcome from a gathering of Hindutva supporters in Nalasopara after being released on bail. Raut had been imprisoned for his alleged involvement in a plot to bomb the Sunburn music festival in Pune in 2017.
Videos circulating online depicted men and women adorned in saffron clothing, dancing to the tunes of a DJ song while welcoming Raut back into the community.
Raut had been held at Arthur Road jail since his arrest by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in 2018. Following his arrest in August 2018, law enforcement officers discovered a hidden room in Raut’s house containing a significant cache of arms, including country-made pistols, crude bombs, electronics, airguns, ammunition, and various documents.
The relief for Raut came when a division bench of Justice Revati Mohite Dere and Justice Gauri Godse granted bail. The decision was made on September 20, although the details of the order were made available last Friday. The grounds for his release included the fact that he had been incarcerated for more than five years, and the trial was not expected to conclude in the near future.

New Delhi, May 10 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting Saturday evening with top government functionaries, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, following the announcement that India and Pakistan have reached an understanding to stop military actions.
