Siddique Kappan, a Kerala journalist, was released from an Uttar Pradesh jail on bail after serving a two-year sentence in the PMLA case
The UP government charged Siddique Kappan with violating the Prevention of Money Laundering Act
Kappan was released from the Lucknow jail after completing the procedures for submitting sureties
Kappan and three others were arrested in October 2020 on their way to Hathras
According to his lawyer, he was released after the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court approved two Rs 1 lakh sureties
Kappan and the other three were charged of attempting to incite violence in the aftermath of the Hathras' death
Police claimed Kappan had ties to the now-banned Popular Front of India (PFI)
In that instance, the Supreme Court granted him bail in September of last year.
