Arun Gawli received a grand welcome by his family members and supporters around 9 pm on Wednesday, after walking out of the Nagpur Central Jail and taking a flight from there
The 76-year-old former MLA's supporters showered flowers and sprinkled 'gulal' (vermillion powder) to welcome him and distributed sweets in the area
His family members were overjoyed and were seen clicking pictures with him as he entered his house, where mediapersons were also present in large numbers
The Supreme Court last week granted bail to Gawli, who was serving life imprisonment for the murder of Mumbai Shiv Sena corporator Kamlakar Jamsandekar
In its order passed on August 28, the bench of Supreme Court Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh noted Gawli was in jail for more than 17 years and his appeal was pending before it
