"Daria Molcha, who was jailed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Foreigners Act, was released around 1.00 pm. We had received the release order very late yesterday that is why she was released today," jail superintendent Ramdhani said.

Molcha has been sent to the Ukrainian Embassy in Delhi under police protection, Senior Superintendent of Police Shalabh Mathur said.

Two men from Kolkata -- Chandari Rawat and Adarsh -- had come here on a chartered plane and they went to the Chief Judicial Magistrate court for the release of Molcha. The application of the Ukrainian model's bail was rejected by the district court on April 12. After that, the bail application was filed in the high court which granted her bail about a week ago.
