An engineering student in Pune who was arrested for a social media post criticizing the government has been released on bail and appeared for her exam under heightened security.
The Bombay High Court sharply criticized the Maharashtra government's response, calling it 'absolutely shocking' and ordered the immediate release of the student from Yerwada Central Jail.
Her college, Sinhgad Academy of Engineering, made special arrangements for her to complete her ongoing exams, and she was accompanied by security for her protection on campus.
