BJP MLA gets bail in all cases from HC

CUTTACK(visakeo)- The Orissa High Court on Monday granted bail to BJP MLA from G Udayagiri in Kandhamal district in all 14 cases pending against him in connection with the last year communal violence.

Earlier the court had granted bail in 12 cases and it granted bail in two more cases on Monday, Pradhan’s counsel Arbinda Mohanty said.

The HC granted bail in a case bearing no 207 and 208 that was filed at Raikia Police limits in Kandhamal following the communal riots in the wake of the murder of Hindu seer Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and four of his disciples on August 23, last year.

Pradhan fought the last Assembly polls in BJP ticket and was elected for the first time. The MLA will be released from Jail on October 28, his counsel added. BJP workers have welcomed the HC verdict.
