A number of CPI(M) supporters with party flags in hand shouted slogans in support of Ghosh and also raised slogans against the chief minister as he came out of the jail.
Former Left Front minister and CPI(M) MLA Susanta Ghosh, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court on February 3 in connection with the skeleton recovery case in West Bengal, was today released from the Alipore Central Jail where he spent nearly six months in custody.
A number of CPI(M) supporters with party flags in hand shouted slogans in support of Ghosh and also raised slogans against the chief minister as he came out of the jail.
"I will tell everything at the right moment," Ghosh told reporters who were waiting outside the jail.
Ghosh was accompanied by party leaders, including Leader of Opposition in Assembly Suryakanta Mishra, in the car which took him to MLA's Hostel in central Kolkata.
While granting him bail, a bench of justices Altamas Kabir and Gyan Sudha Misra had imposed the condition that Ghosh would not visit West Bengal's West Midnapore district other than his Assembly constituency Garbeta.
The apex court, which allowed his appeal against the denial of bail by the Calcutta High Court on September 29, last year, had said Ghosh would also have to visit a police station nearest to his residence on the last Sunday of every month between 11am and 2pm.
Ghosh had been in custody since August 11, last year after his arrest by the state CID for his alleged complicity in the murder of Ajay Acharya, whose son filed an FIR following the discovery of his skeleton from a pit.
Seven skeletons were dug out from a pit in a field near Ghosh's ancestral house at Benachapra in West Midnapore district. DNA tests proved that one of the skeletons was that of Acharya.
In the FIR, Shyamal Acharya named Ghosh as one of the key accused.
Ghosh had maintained it was a politically-motivated case filed after a new government took over in the state.
