Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam youth wing leader and former city mayor M K Stalin was granted bail by a local Chennai court on Monday in the case that accused him of inciting party cadres to attack police personnel who had gone to arrest him on the night of April 9.

On Thursday, Stalin had secured bail in another case relating to trespass into the all women's Queen Mary's College, alleged intimidation of a watchman and inciting students protesting against the Tamil Nadu government's decision to relocate the college and build a new secretariat in its place.

Granting bail to Stalin and nine others, including some party legislators, Principal Session Judge M Jayapaul directed them to furnish personal bonds for Rs 10,000 each with two sureties each for like amounts.

Directing Stalin to stay at Madurai till April 26 and report daily to a police station there, the judge said after that date he should report to the police station at Velachery under which his city residence came. He also ordered him not to foment any trouble.

Earlier, a Metropolitan Magistrate's court had remanded Stalin to judicial custody till May five in the case.
