After nearly 16 months, YSR Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy Tuesday walked out of a jail here to a warm welcome by his supporters.

The MP from Kadapa emerged from Chanchalguda Central Jail at 4 p.m. amid tumultuous scenes outside. With folded hands, he greeted hundreds of supporters who had gathered at the main gate to welcome him.

He was seen requesting people to make way for his convoy, which later left for his residence at Lotus Pond in Jubliee Hills. The young leader sat in a bullet proof vehicle, escorted by several security personnel.

A special court Monday granted conditional bail to Jagan in disproportionate assets case.

The son of late chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in May last year.
