-

CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday granted bail to labour rights activist Nodeep Kaur in an attempt to murder case while taking note of a medical examinatio­n report, which listed two simple injuries on her caused by a “blunt object”.

Kaur was released from Karnal jail on Friday evening. Addressing mediaperso­ns, Kaur said, “I did not break any law and cannot think of doing so in future. But I raise voice against exploitati­on of labourers and farmers by the big corporate houses. Such influentia­l people cannot tolerate this and try to suppress their voice.”

The activist was arrested on January 12 after she had participat­ed in the farmer’s protests at Kundli in Haryana.
