The 80-year-old ailing Pakistani scientist Dr Mohammed Khalil Chishti, who was granted bail by Indian Supreme Court on Monday in a two-decade-old murder case, was released from jail in Ajmer on Wednesday, Indian media reported.
Dr Chishti, who was serving life term after his conviction in January last year, was granted bail by the Supreme Court on humanitarian grounds but the order is yet to be received by the trial court.
“We will go to the fast track court tomorrow after the order is received,” Jamil Chishti, brother of Dr Khalil Chishti, said on Tuesday.
“After furnishing the bail bond, we will go to the jail to welcome my brother,” he said. “My brother got some relief after a long battle. He is ailing and lodged in the jail hospital. Now, we will be able to take care of his health properly at home,” Jamil, who is a Khadim in dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer, said.
Jamil said their prayers at the Mazar of Sufi saint have finally been addressed.
A microbiologist by profession, Dr Chishti had come from Pakistan to visit his ailing mother in Ajmer in 1992 when he got embroiled in a dispute and, in the melee; one of his neighbors was shot dead while his nephew got injured.
