He was released from the jail at around 7 pm.

A large battery of media persons waiting outside to catch a glimpse of Rahul were disappointed as he was taken out through a side gate.

Rahul was arrested on June 5 under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act from the Apollo Hospital, where he was admitted in a critical condition in the wee hours of June 2 following a late night party.

He was released after a city court granted him bail earlier in the day.
