After Three Arrests For Tweets On Aditya And Uddhav Thackeray, Sameet Thakkar Finally Gets Bail

Prominent Twitter user Sameet Thakkar was today granted bail by a Magistrate court in Mumbai after being arrested from Rajkot on 24 October over his comments against Uddhav and Aditya Thackeray.

This came after the state government submitted before the Supreme Court that it will not oppose the Bail application as it has completed the investigation into the matter.

The arrests pertained to Thakkar's tweets which allegedly termed Uddhav Thackeray a - modern day Aurangzeb and his son and fellow minister Aditya Thackeray a baby penguin.

Following the arrest a disturbing video released by Thakkar's family purportedly showed him being led to a court while being tied to a rope with his face being covered with a black cloth.

On 3 November Thakkar was granted bail by a Nagpur court and was then arrested by Mumbai's V P Road Police till 9 November. The BKC Police then arrested him on 10 November and he has been in their custody since then.
