Delhi court reserves order on Swatantra Bhardwaj bail plea

A Delhi court reserved its order on Hindutva worker Swatantra Bhardwaj's bail plea for September 15. Arrested on September 4, he faces FIRs under POCSO and SC/ST Acts over alleged assault on a Dalit man at Jantar Mantar. His counsel claimed arrest followed 'political developments' and that Bhardwaj was actually attacked by the complainant.
