Mining baron G. Janardhan Reddy was finally released from Parappana Agrahara central prison at around 4.45 p.m. on Friday.
Seated in his sedan, Mr. Reddy waved at the jubilant crowd before heading to his house ‘Parijata’ at Chalukya Circle. His supporters cheered and burst crackers to celebrate his release.
He was followed by his friends B. Sriramulu, MP J. Shanta, MLA Nagendra and others.
Though the bail formalities were over few hours ago, sources said Mr. Reddy stayed in jail premises to wait for an auspicious time to exit jail. He greeted and thanked the jail staff before leaving the premises.
Mr. Reddy will be taken to a private hospital for medical check-up since he was suffering from back-ache and minor aliments, police sources said.
