The Pune district sessions court on Tuesday granted bail to 170 Maratha protesters, who were arrested on August 9 for creating a ruckus and damaging public property during the bandh called by the Maratha Kranti Morcha over reservation.

According to sources, Additional Sessions Judge Kishor Wadane granted them bail on the condition that they would not tamper with evidence and leave the Pune district without prior permission from the court. They have also been asked to remain present at the police stations where their cases have been registered, every Sunday between 11 am and 2 pm. Each of them also had to pay a solvent surety of Rs 15,000.
