Eleven of the arrested male volunteers were produced before Brijesh Garg, Additional Sessions Judge, Karkardooma Court, who appreciated the right to protest as a fundamental right and held that AAP volunteers were protesting within their constitutionally guaranteed right.

He also said that the Delhi Police did not have any ground to hold them in custody and hence granted bail.

Although the female volunteers were granted bail the next day, the male volunteers were kept in custody despite serious injuries.
