But we can't allow that keeping in mind the city's law and order situation,” a Tihar spokesperson told IANS.“He and his supporters were released from their cell but they are presently at the jail headquarters in talks with our senior officers,” added the official.Hazare, 74 was detained Tuesday morning ahead of his planned fast-unto-death for a stronger Lokpal bill. He was arrested a few hours later when he refused to sign a bail bond and was sent to Tihar Jail along with his key confidante Arvind Kejriwal and other supporters.
