Cuttack: Satyam Roul, the adopted son of self-styled godman Sarathi Baba, was here today released from jail on bail.

The Orissa High Court had granted him bail two days ago.

The High Court, granting him bail, had ordered him to cooperate with the prosecution, meet the investigation officer once every fortnight and not to leave the state without prior permission from the IO till the end of his trial.

Satyam (20), heading the Trust floated by Sarathi Baba, was arrested from Mumbai on charges of cheating and related offences and receiving stolen properties.
