Mau (UP), Aug 18 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar was granted bail on a personal bond in a 2019 case of poll code violation after he appeared in an MP/MLA court here on Monday.
The case relates to a Lok Sabha poll rally on May 17, 2019, at Ratanpura market, where Rajbhar allegedly used abusive language against BJP leaders and urged his supporters to “beat them with shoes”.
Sub-Inspector Rudrabhanu Pandey of the flying squad had lodged an FIR in the matter at the Haldharpur police station the next day.
A non-bailable warrant had been issued against Rajbhar.
His counsel, M Khan, said the minister surrendered before the court and secured bail on two sureties of Rs 30,000 each.
Rajbhar termed the case a routine election matter, claiming he was unaware of its exact details but appeared in court upon receiving notice. PTI COR ABN ABN NSD NSD
