Jignesh Mevani re-arrested in a new case just after he was granted bail

News Desk: Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani was re-arrested in a new case today just after he was granted bail by a court in Assam in a case over tweets on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The court had reserved its order on the bail application in the tweets case yesterday.

He is accused of “assaulting and outraging” the modesty of a woman police officer in the new case against him.

The police from Assam’s Barpeta, who came to arrest Mr Mevani, charged him under sections of the Indian Penal Code related to voluntarily causing hurt and stopping a government officer from doing his or her work.
