A Chennai court on Thursday granted bail to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam legislator and former city mayor M K Stalin, who was arrested on April 9 for 'trespassing' into Queen Mary's College.
Thirteenth Metropolitan Magistrate Venkata Varadhan also granted bail to four other legislators on the ground that they would not hamper the investigation.
They had gone to the QMC campus to express solidarity with the women students, who were protesting against the Tamil Nadu government's decision to demolish the college and construct a secretariat complex.
The police had reportedly warned Stalin that outsiders were not permitted to enter the premises.
