Mangalore, July 5: More than four months after they were arrested by on charges of alleged links with Naxalites, Mangalore University student Vittala Malekudiya and his father Linganna Malekudiya were finally released on Thursday.

The activists of district units of Communist Party of India (Marxist), Democratic Youth Federation of India and Students Federation of India extended a floral welcome to the duo, who stepped out of the Mangalore prison at around 10:00 am.

Overjoyed by the release of the duo, the activists burst crackers and distributed sweets in front of the prison. Later the two were taken to the district office of CPI (M) in the city.

The Judicial Magistrate First Class Court at Belthangady had granted conditional bail to the father and son, who were arrested by Karnataka's Anti-Naxal Force on March 3 at their home in Kuthlur near Belthangady.

The JMFC Court had ordered their release on the ground of failure of the police in filing charge sheet within 90 days of their arrest. According to Mr. Vittala's counsel Shiva Kumar S.M., the JMFC court observed that the police had not sought extension of time for filing the charge sheet under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, under which the duo have been booked.

The release was subject to production of surety for Rs. 50,000. Among the conditions imposed for the bail was that the duo should appear before the Venoor police station every Sunday. The two have also been asked not to threaten witnesses.
