Tyagi was granted interim bail in May this year. He was arrested in January in a case related to genocidal calls issued at a Hindu dharm sansad in Uttarakhand last year.

Several Hindutva terrorists had called for the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in India from the stage of a so-called religious parliament by Hindu leaders.
