Gujarat MLA and Dalit activist Jignesh Mevani has been released on bail from a jail in Assam, over 2,000 km away from his home state, following his highly public arrest last month. Just before his arrest on April 19, Mevani, the Vadgam legislator, was attending the marriage of a girl from the Dalit community in Dhota Gaon of Palanpur in Gujarat.
