BENGALURU: Popular Bigg Boss Kannada contestants Rajath Kishan and Vinay Gowda, who were arrested after a viral video featuring them holding machetes was shared on the internet, were released from jail on Saturday.

The 24th ACMM Court had granted them conditional bail on Friday. Rajath and Vinay were released from jail on Saturday as the police and the prison authorities received the bail order late on Friday.

Vinay spoke to the media after his release, saying, “Thank you for your support. Let’s talk later”, he said before leaving.

The duo was arrested under the Arms Act, 1959, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, following a complaint for making a reel holding a machete.

According to the police, holding weapons in public and filming such content is an offence under the Arms Act and can incite fear among the public. The court had earlier ordered police custody of the duo for three days from March 26 to 28.
