Fireband VHP leader Praveen Togadia, who was arrested while trying to enter riot-hit Kandhamal district despite prohibitory orders, was on Saturday released by Orissa Police.
"Togadia was released on a bond and he left for Bhanjanagar in Ganjam district," Kandhamal SP Pravin Kumar said.
The VHP leader was arrested last night under Section 151 of the CrPC when he tried to walk into Kandhamal, along with supporters.
Earlier the state government had put a ban on Togadia's visit in view of the communally-fragile nature of the district, which had seen largescale communal violence in the wake of killing of VHP leader Lakhsmananda Saraswati in August 2008.
Meanwhile, the district VHP unit of Kandhamal organised a 12-hour bandh protesting Togadia's arrest. While all shops and business establishments were closed, educational institutions and government offices functioned as usual, police said
