Digital Desk: Shrinkhal Chaliha, the head of the Veer Lachit Sena, was released from jail in Assam's Sivasagar district on Monday night after being imprisoned for about a month and a half.

He was re-arrested on May 3 by police near the entrance of Sivasagar district jail under the National Security Act (NSA) after obtaining an order from the District Chief Judicial Magistrate, just hours after being freed on bail in an extortion case.

According to accounts, a police van escorted him to his apartment at 11 p.m. yesterday, after more than 45 days.

It should be noted that Shrinkhal Chaliha was re-arrested under NSA on May 3, just hours after being released on bail in an extortion case.

Chaliha informed the reporters following his re-arrest, "I was granted bail by the court after the prosecutor couldn't provide any evidence against me." Some top officials came to the jail last night and plotted against me. I was arrested again today. This is a "democracy murder." This government serves the non-Assamese people."

Chaliha was earlier detained in Sivasagar in an extortion and businessman abuse case and released on bail. The Chief Judicial Magistrate court in Sivasagar granted his bail application.
