New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India Wednesday granted bail to Ashoka University Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, who was arrested by Haryana Police over a Facebook post critical of right wing Hindutva groups.

Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, Associate Professor at Ashoka University, had made the remarks highlighting the double standard of right wing groups in India after Operation Sindoor.

He was arresed by Haryana Police on Saturday May 18 based on the complaints of a BJP activist and Haryana Women's Commission Chief.
