Three Kashmiri students, who were arrested in Agra last October for allegedly celebrating the Pakistan cricket team’s victory over India in a T20 cricket match, were released from jail on Monday.
Nasir Khuehami, a spokesperson for the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, who has been tracking the matter, said the three students were released from the district jail in Agra after six months.
Last month, the Allahabad High Court had granted bail to the Arsheed Yousuf, Inayat Altaf Sheikh and Showkat Ahmed Ganai – enrolled in Agra’s Raja Balwant Singh Engineering College under the PM’s special scholarship for J&K students – but they were not released as they could not secure a guarantor for their surety.
