Take help of some honest and skillful lawyer to get bail and fight the case. Since Liberty is guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, getting bail is a right and going to jail is an exception. There are many related court judgements. One of them by Supreme Court is Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors. on 2 December, 2010. You can read the judgment here https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1108032/

Shroff Sir you are speaking the truth and reality. The same truth has been spoken by wise men all through the ages. History of civilization shows that honesty in governments always gets sold when there is no fear of the people.
Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
‘‘To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.’’— George Mason
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783
"Both the oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms." - Aristotle
"Only an armed people can be truly free. Only an unarmed people can ever be enslaved."- Aristotle
"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both."-Benjamin Franklin
“The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” – Thomas Jefferson
"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"The most effective way to find ourselves enslaved will not be done openly. If weakened we will sink gradually. I ask, who are the militia? They consist of the whole people,.... except a few public officers."- Thomas Jefferson
"When injustice becomes law, then Rebellion becomes duty!"-Thomas Jefferson
“Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.”-Thomas Jefferson
”A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”~George Washington
"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it."- Daniel Webster
‘‘Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined’’— Patrick Henry
‘‘...for it is a truth, which the experience of all ages has attested, that the people are commonly most in danger when the means of insuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion.’’— Alexander Hamilton
‘‘Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficial ... the greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding’’ — U. S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, 1928
‘‘The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest possible limits. ... and when the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.’’— Saint George Tucker, Judge of the Virginia Supreme Court 1803
‘‘To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them...’’— Richard Henry Lee, 1787
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. ~Thomas Jefferson
‘‘Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.’’— Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
‘‘We, the People are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution.’’— Abraham Lincoln
‘‘Four out of five politicians surveyed prefer unarmed, ignorant peasants.’’— Unknown
"That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."- George Orwell
