Statements: All those political prisoners were released on bail who had gone to jail for reasons other than political dharnas. Bail was not granted to persons involved in murders.
Conclusions:
- No political - prisoner had committed murder.
- Some politicians were not arrested.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
According to the statement, the political prisoners can be divided into two groups - those who were released and those who were put in jail for political dharnas. However, no person involved in murder was released. This means that no political prisoner had committed murder. So, I follows. Clearly, II is not directly related to the statement and does not follow.

The correct answer is D. Because there may be some chutiya politicians who commited murder as well as dharna. They won't be given bail.

How we can conclude that no political prisoners had committed murder.

But it says all those political persons who were not involved in dharnas were released on bail. This could also mean that there were some politicians who could also be in jail for murder, and hence were not given bail. I too think the answer given doesn't make sense.

Its clear when the political prisoner achieved bail.
Now, if the question arise then late me clear you the answer is already in the question. "political prisoner released on bail. Bail was not granted persons involved in murder".
See, If the political prisoner was involved in murder then the correction hall will not grant the bail. Think clearly. I bet you ll get the answer all by yourselves.

@Yash.
Your explanation is good enough but what if Category 1 political prisoners who are retained in jail due to political dharnas were also convicted of murder?

Explanation to the Answer:
Political prisoners who were in jail were there due to:
1. Political Dharnas.
2. Other reasons.
All the political prisoners in the category 'other reasons' were released.
Now, in this whole transaction, the people who had committed murder were not released. Now if the political prisoners belonging to 'other reasons' would have committed murders they wouldn't have been released.
But all of those belonging to 'other reasons' were released.
Hence, No political - prisoner had committed murder.

I Can't accept option A. As mentioned above by @Sch203, It is all those politicians and not all the politicians so how can we say that politicians are not involved in murders. So according to me option D will follow.
