September 11, 2012 22:34

Hours after refusing to take the bail granted by the Bombay high court, cartoonist Aseem Trivedi, arrested on the charges of mocking the Parliament and the national emblem, on Tuesday evening said that he would accept it and execute the bond on Wednesday.

The cartoonist said, "I respect judiciary, will execute the bail bond tomorrow."

This came hours after the cartoonist was granted bail by the Bombay high court on a personal bond of Rs 5,000. However, Trivedi told the court that he was not taking the bail as the sedition charge under Indian Penal Code Section 124 (A) against him had not been dropped yet.
