Folk writer Devayat Khawad, who has been in jail for the last 72 days, has finally got conditional bail. Dewayat Khawad was arrested for fatally assaulting Mayursingh Rana and two of his companions with a pipe at Sarveswar Chowk in Rajkot. The High Court has granted bail to Dewayat Khawad on the condition that he does not enter Rajkot for 6 months.
