Imprisoned for over two years now, he has been accused by the ED of illegally collecting foreign funding and utilising it to commit crimes, charges firmly denied by him.

got bail but is still not free

3 days after he was granted bail by Allahabad HC in Money Laundering case he remains in jail because he has to furnish a personal bond & two local, reliable sureties. To complete the process they need to wait for Courts to reopen

Who will pay for the years lost? Who will pay the court charges?
Who will pay for the unexplainable

Has anyone been held accountable?
