Chief Judicial Magistrate M A Khan granted bail to Salma Mevati (35) and Shamim Akthar Hussain (30), both local residents, who were allegedly thrashed by cow vigilantes on the suspicion that they were carrying cow meat at the Mandsaur railway station yesterday.
The bail was granted on personal bonds of Rs 25,000 each and surety of equal amount, said advocate Umesh Parmar, one of their lawyers.
Parmar and another advocate Nirmal Joshi contended in the court that their clients have been falsely implicated.
The incident came close on the heels of the attack on Dalit youths in Gujarat by cow vigilantes for skinning a dead cow, drawing outrage and triggering a slugfest between BJP and its rivals.
Opposition BSP and Congress today created uproar in Rajya Sabha over the present incident.
