Veteran actor Suhasini Mulay on Wednesday stood as surety for activist Gautam Navlakha, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, before he could be released from prison and put under house arrest.

Navlakha, 70, who claims that he is suffering from multiple ailments, is in prison since April 2020.

On November 10, in response to his petition, the Supreme Court allowed him to be put under house arrest for a month and said the order should be implemented within 48 hours.

But he is still in prison as formalities of release could not be completed. Mulay, known for her work in films such as "Bhuvan Shome" and "Hu Tu Tu", appeared before the special judge for National Investigation Agency cases Rajesh Kataria, and stated that she was standing as surety for Navlakha.
