Supporters of Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani on Saturday said they were withdrawing their call for "jail bharo" (courting arrest) agitation as the independent MLA from Gujarat has been released from jail in Assam.

The agitation had been announced to protest Mevani's arrest by Assam Police last week. A court in the north-eastern state on Friday granted him bail in a case where he is accused of assaulting a woman police personnel.
