Saket Gokhale re-arrested after bail, TMC sends delegation to Gujarat
The Hindu
The Trinamool Congress spokesperson had earlier claimed that PM Modi's visit to Morbi after the bridge collapse cost ₹30 crore.
A metropolitan magistrate's court here on Thursday, December 8 2022, granted bail to Trinamool Congress spokesperson Saket Gokhale in a case related to a tweet he had allegedly posted about the Morbi bridge collapse tragedy.
But he was soon arrested in another case registered by Morbi police.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate M. V. Chauhan here granted bail to Gokhale after he was produced before the court following the completion of his police custody, said Assistant Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime) Jitendra Yadav.
But soon afterwards he was arrested by the Morbi police in another offence registered there, Yadav said.
As it happened, the TMC in a tweet said it has sent a three-member delegation to Morbi, Gujarat in the wake of the development.
"BJP4Gujarat's nefarious agenda is out again," it tweeted.
"Our National spokesperson @SaketGokhale was arrested again moments after his release by the Gujarat Police, with no good reason." Claiming that people's democratic rights are under threat now, the TMC said "We demand his unconditional release." The delegation comprises senior leaders Dola Sen, Khalilur Rahaman, and Asit Mal, the party said.
