New Delhi, Jun 6 A Delhi court on Saturday released Congress leader Alka Lamba on probation of good conduct for one year in a case where she has been convicted for assaulting police personnel during a protest at the Jantar Mantar in 2024.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwani Panwar directed Lamba, who heads the Mahila Congress, the women's wing of the party, to furnish a bond of Rs one lakh.
A detailed order is awaited.
On May 25, the court convicted her saying that she ignored the prohibitory orders and failed to fulfil her duty as a responsible citizen.
During the arguments on sentencing, Lamba moved a plea seeking release on probation of good conduct.
The court had held Lamba guilty of obstructing public servants in the discharge of duty, assaulting officials, disobeying a promulgated order and causing obstruction in a public way.
