Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar alias Ravan has been released from Saharanpur jail after Uttar Pradesh government revoked the National Security (NSA) against him.

Release was ordered after considering a representation submitted by his mother, but Chandrashekhar thinks the real reason of his released is because UP government is “scared”. The Dalit leader, however, expects the government to “frame some charges against” him.

Chandrashekhar was arrested and jailed for his alleged involvement with Saharanpur violence case in 2017.

Addressing the media, Chandrashekhar said, “Government was so scared that they are going to be rebuked by Supreme Court, that they ordered an early release to save themselves. I’m confident they’ll frame some charges against me within 10 days: I’ll ask my people to throw BJP out of power in 2019, “Chandrashekhar told ANI.

According to The Indian Express, “Chandrashekhar was arrested, along with two others, in connection with the clashes in Saharanpur in May 2017, leading to the death of two persons. He was granted bail by the Allahabad High Court in November 2017 before the government detained him under the NSA.”
