Self-styled godman Namdev Das Tyagi alias Computer Baba was on Thursday released from Central Jail hours after he was granted bail by a local court in connection with a case of stalling construction of a gate at Gomatgiri, a pilgrimage of Digamber Jain community.
Earlier in the day, the Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court had ordered for his release in a case under Section 151 of CrPC if he was not required in any other case.
“Total four cases were registered against Tyagi – two at Gandhi Nagar police station, one at Aerodrome police station and one under Section 151 of CrPC. He had got bail in three cases before and on Thursday he was granted bail in the fourth case as well,” said Vibhor Khandelwal, Tyagi's counsel.
After bail orders reached the Central Jail, Tyagi was released in the evening. Tyagi remained non-committal when media persons surrounded him and sought his reaction on his arrest in different cases. He just thanked his lawyers for helping him secure bail and left.
Tyagi was arrested in preventive action under Section 151 of CrPC when the district administration was removing encroachment from government land in Jamburdi Hapsi village near Indore on November 8. The godman was later booked for three more cases, including one for assault, manhandling and threatening different persons.
