Karnataka BJP leader CT Ravi - arrested for allegedly making derogatory remarks against a woman Congress lawmaker in Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's cabinet - was given interim bail Friday evening.
"Release him immediately... wherever he is," the High Court said, noting Mr Ravi was not served notice before his arrest. The protocol states the cops should have done so before questioning and detaining him over a complaint filed by Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar.
