Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay released from Karimnagar jail

Karimnagar , Jan 06: Bharatiya Janata Party Telangana unit president and Lok Sabha member from Karimnagar Bandi Sanjay was on Wednesday released from Karimnagar jail, after the state high court granted him bail and ordered his immediate release.

 

 

On Wednesday, a high court bench headed by Justice Ujjal Bhuyan heard the arguments on his bail petition and set aside the orders of the Karimnagar court. It ordered the release of Sanjay on personal surety.

 

Noting that Sanjay was arrested at 10.50 pm and an FIR was registered at 11.15 pm, the high court asked how the FIR was registered in such a short time. It also sought to know why Section 333 (causing injuries to the public servant) of the Indian Penal Code was added to the FIR, as there was no medical report about the injuries to policemen in the remand report submitted to the lower court.
