Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani finally got the bail in a case of alleged assault on a policewoman. The day he got bail, Mevani told reporters that it is a conspiracy by the BJP and the RSS. He said they did this to tarnish his image and they have been doing this systematically.

Mevani said that BJP and RSS did this to Rohit Vemula, they did it to Chandrasekhar Azad, and now they are targeting him.

Gujarat MLA was arrested last Thursday from the state’s Palanpur by the Assam police team after a local BJP leader from Assam’s Kokrajhar filed a complaint against him.

In the case of his tweets, Mevani was charged with criminal conspiracy and the offence related to a place of worship, outraging religious feelings and provocation that might lead to a breach of peace.

However, he got bail in that case but was again re-arrested in the alleged assault case on April 25 just after he was granted bail by another court in Assam in a case over tweets on PM Modi.

In the second case, Mevani was booked under sections 294 (obscene act in any public place), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty).

The policewoman who filed the complaint against him said that when she was escorting Jignesh Mevani in connection with the Kokrajhar case from the Guwahati airport to Kokrajhar in a government vehicle along with two other senior police officials that day. During the way, Mevani uttered slang words towards her, he even pointed fingers and tried to frighten her and pushed her on her seat with force. She even said that he touched her inappropriately and tried to outrage her modesty.
