Feels like Eid, says Asif Iqbal Tanha's family after he gets bail in riots case

Asif Iqbal Tanha was arrested under the UAPA in connection with a case of conspiracy related to the northeast Delhi riots.

Far away in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh city, Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha's family heaved a sigh of relief after he was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on Tuesday in a case related to the northeast Delhi riots. His father Mujibullah said the atmosphere in their home is like that of Eid. "We are very happy. It has been more than a year since he has been in jail. We didn't celebrate Eid this year but today it feels like Eid," he said. "My wife has gone to distribute sweets to her sister," he told PTI over the phone from Hazaribagh.
