Metropolitan Magistrate Udbhav Kumar Jain granted relief to Upadhyay, who is an advocate, on a bond of Rs 50,000.
The accused was sent to the judicial custody yesterday by a court here, considering that his bail application was pending.
A video showing anti-Muslim slogans being raised during a protest at Jantar Mantar here was widely circulated on social media, following which Delhi Police registered a case in connection with the matter on Monday.
Hundreds of people had attended the protest organised by ‘Bharat Jodo Aandolan’ at Jantar Mantar on Sunday.
Shipra Srivastava, media in-charge of Bharat Jodo Aandolan, had said the protest was held under the leadership of Upadhyay.
However, she denied any links to those who raised anti-Muslim slogans.
Upadhyay too denied any involvement in the anti-Muslim slogan shouting incident.
The video shows a group of people shouting inflammatory slogans and threatening Muslims during the protest at Jantar Mantar.
