Out of jail, Surender Panwar visits Vaishno Devi temple

Days after the Punjab and Haryana High Court declared his arrest illegal, Congress candidate and outgoing MLA Surender Panwar was released from the Ambala Central Jail on Wednesday evening.

Panwar along with his supporters immediately went to Mata Vaishno Devi to pay obeisance. He would reach home on Thursday and take the command of the campaign.

As soon as the release orders were obtained from the High Court, his advocate and supporters reached the Ambala Central jail. Panwar was released in the evening. Scores of supporters were gathered at the Central jail.

The ED arrested Panwar in connection with a money laundering and illegal mining case on July 20. The special court sent him to judicial custody in Ambala Central Jail.
