Mumbai: Vaibhav Raut, a member of the Hindutva militant group Sanatan Sanstha, received an grand welcome from a gathering of Hindutva supporters in Nalasopara after being released on bail. Raut had been imprisoned for his alleged involvement in a plot to bomb the Sunburn music festival in Pune in 2017.
Videos circulating online depicted men and women adorned in saffron clothing, dancing to the tunes of a DJ song while welcoming Raut back into the community.
Raut had been held at Arthur Road jail since his arrest by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in 2018. Following his arrest in August 2018, law enforcement officers discovered a hidden room in Raut’s house containing a significant cache of arms, including country-made pistols, crude bombs, electronics, airguns, ammunition, and various documents.
