KOCHI: The High Court has granted bail to K Surendran, who was arrested for staging an attack at Sannidhanam and blocking a 52-year old woman from entering the temple. The court has granted a conditional bail for Surendran. He is not allowed to enter Pathanamthitta district, aiming to keep him away from Sabarimala.

The government had argued not to grant bail for Surendran. Surendran is being released from jail after 21 days in custody.
