SP MLA Manoj Paras sent to jail in attempt-to-murder case

Bijnor (UP), Sep 10 (PTI) A special MP-MLA court here has rejected the bail plea of Samajwadi Party MLA from Nagina, Manoj Paras in connection with a 2020 attempt-to-murder case, officials said on Wednesday.

Additional District Government Counsel Jitendra Chauhan said that a villager, Chhatar Singh of Raseedpur Garhi, had lodged a complaint alleging that he was attacked with knives on Jhalu road on September 29, 2020.

Along with some other Samajwadi Party leaders, Paras, a former minister and sitting MLA, was named as an accused in the case.

Non-bailable warrants were subsequently issued against him.

On Tuesday, Paras appeared before the court of Judge Shantanu Tyagi, who rejected his bail application and sent him to jail, Chauhan said. PTI COR ABN ABN DV DV
