Hindraf leader P Uthayakumar returned to his mother's house in his hometown of Rasah, Seremban late tonight and received a heros welcome from a sea of thousands of orange-clad supporters.
The 47-year-old lawyer had earlier today refused to sign the conditional papers of release and travelled from Kamunting to Seremban - a six-hour journey across three states - in a convoy of 100 cars and motorcycles.
Interestingly, one of the conditions for his release was not to set foot in Seremban.
