The Supreme Court on Thursday granted conditional bail to Italian marine Salvatore Girone on the condition that he report to a designated police station and agree to obey the apex court’s orders after he leaves India. The government supported Girone’s request to leave India on ‘humanitarian grounds.’
Three years ago, from an elevated stage at a rally, Narendra Modi blamed the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh-led UPA government for its soft stance on the two Italian marines accused of killing two fishermen off the Kerala coast in 2012.
He even invoked the audience’s sympathy for the fishermen and their families.
