Gujarat`s Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani, on Saturday completed pending bail formalities at the Kokrajhar Court and is slated to return to his home state after travelling to Guwahati, where he will be meeting Congress leaders who supported demands that he be released.
Mevani, an independent MLA from Gujarat, told reporters here after completing the formalities that it was "shameful that false cases were filed" against him in the land of Srimanta Sankardeva, a revered Vaishnavite saint.
