BJP leader Giriraj Singh’s anticipatory bail rejected
Singh is facing a non-bailable arrest warrant in connection with his hate speech made 10 days ago
Bokaro: A local court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail petition of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Giriraj Singh who is facing non-bailable arrest warrant in connection with his hate speech made 10 days ago.
Additional district and sessions judge (first class) Bipin Bihari rejected the petition of the Nawada Lok Sabha candidate of the saffron party.
Earlier on 23 April, sub-divisional judicial magistrate Amit Sekhar had issued the warrant against the former Bihar minister.
The warrant was issued in connection with an FIR filed against Singh on 21 April alleging that he had said in an election meeting under Harla police station on 18 April that those who opposed BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi would have to find a place in Pakistan.
Another FIR has also been lodged against him by the Deogarh district police on the same charge the same day.
Earlier on 25 April, he got an anticipatory bail by Patna district and sessions judge Birendra Kumar on an FIR on the same charge.
