Bhavesh Patel returns home to heroic welcome

Ajmer dargah blast convict Bhavesh Patel returned home to a heroic welcome. He was welcomed by a large crowd that included office-bearers of the BJP and VHP. People carried him on their shoulders while others showered him with rose petals, burst crackers and even invited a DJ to the celebration. Bhavesh Patel (40) of Bharuch and Devendra Gupta (42) of Ajmer, handed life terms by a Jaipur court in August 2017, were granted bail last week by the Rajasthan High Court after their lawyers argued that the men had been convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence.
