Behura, arrested on February 2 last year along with former telecom minister A Raja, stepped out of the jail on Friday evening after their lawyers furnished the bail bond before Special Central Bureau of Investigation Judge O P Saini.
"Behura has been released from the Tihar jail. We had furnished the bail bond before the trial court today after which the release warrants were issued," Behura's counsel Pramod Jalan said.
A bench of justices G S Singhvi and H L Dattu had granted bail to Behura on May 9 on a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh and surety of Rs 5 lakh respectively.
Behura had challenged the high court's order of December 16, 2011, which had denied him the bail on the ground that he was the "perpetrator" of the alleged illegal design of Raja and cannot claim benefit of parity with others released on bail.
Behura is facing trial in the case along with other 13 accused, including Raja and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP Kanimozhi.
