Bail granted for VHP men

JODHPUR MAY 8. A local court yesterday granted anticipatory bail to five VHP activists accused of displaying tridents, banned in Rajasthan under the Arms Act.

The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Ajai Kumar Jain, said a trident cannot be considered an arm or an article for offence or defence.

The judge said ``every double-edged and pointed object cannot be considered as an arm''. A trident cannot be placed in this category, if it is small and has not been designed as an arm, he said.
