Yet another FIR has been filed against former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda and 28 others by the Vigilance Bureau, accusing them of forgery and criminal conspiracy while awarding contracts to a Hyderbad-based company for rural electrification.
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Yashwant Sinha and 54 others were remanded to judicial custody by a local court on Tuesday after they refused to seek bail in a case of alleged assault of a Jharkhand State Electricity Board official.
A day after veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani met him at Hazaribagh jail, Yashwant Sinha on Wednesday secured bail from a local court having spent a fortnight in prison following his refusal to seek relief after his arrest during a power crisis stir.
The protest over electricity crisis by the Bharatiya Janata Party in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand entered the third day even as senior party leader Yashwant Sinha and others did not apply for bail on Wednesday after they were arrested and remanded to judicial custody in connection with alleged assault of an electricity board official.
