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.

I too didn't understand. I think there is some error. It's mentioned 'All those political prisoners....' and not 'All the political prisoners...'

@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?

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.
