NEW DELHI: The trial court on Friday granted bail to three persons who had attacked senior advocate and Jan Lokpal bill leader Prashant Bhushan .

The court denied the police of custodial interrogation of the accused. Three youth, Inder Verma , Tejinder Singh and Vishnu Gupta on Wednesday, barged into the chamber of the activist lawyer and turned violent against him allegedly for his views on the Kashmir conflict.

Inder Verma was overpowered and arrested on Wednesday while Tejinder Singh and Vishnu Gupta who had escaped after the assault, were arrested on Thursday morning. Bhushan had filed an FIR against the attackers.

The attackers who claimed to have affiliation with Shri Ram Sene and Bhaghat Singh Kranti Sena were “provoked” by Prashant’s Kashmir views. Prashant, in an interview, had reportedly favoured a plebiscite for Kashmir and Kashmir’s secession from India if Kashmiri people voted for it.
