October 21, 2012 10:17

A journalist, Syed Mohammed Kazmi, who worked for an Iranian news agency and was accused of being involved in the bomb attack on the car of an Israeli diplomat, was released from judicial custody in New Delhi late on Saturday.

Kazmi was earlier granted bail by the Supreme Court of India, as no chargesheet had been filed against him within the stipulated period of 90 days after his arrest. Kazmi was arrested on March 6 this year in connection with Israeli embassy car bomb blast.

A staffer with the national television channel Doordarshan, he also freelanced for Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency.

Emerging out of Tihar Jail, Kazmi told reporters that he had full faith in the legal system of the country. "I am feeling very good and I am overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of people in my support. I would also thank the media for supporting me in getting justice. I feel my release is the victory of our law and that the law of the land and the Constitution is above all," Kazmi said.
