DSGMC President Manjinder Singh Sirsa alongwith Ranjit Singh’s brother Pardeep Singh and Delhi sangat reached out to receive him from Tihar jail.
His brother Pardeep Singh said the family was relieved after they received the news regarding bail to Ranjit.
“After the incident, I had met my brother four times and we all were praying for him. We will complete formalities regarding the bail at the earliest. I am looking forward to the moment when he will be released. We waited for it for so long,” Pardeep Singh said.
Video grabs of Ranjit being beaten up with lathis had gone viral on the Internet. Since then, the family had been denying the accusations of Ranjit attacking the police. The family had said Ranjit was a simple boy and couldn’t beat anyone.
