Court dismisses bail plea of accused in Manjeswaram bribery case

The Principal Sessions Court here dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of former BJP district president K. Balakrishna Shetty in the Manjeswaram election bribery case. He is the fifth accused in the case.

Earlier, the court had heard BSP candidate K. Sundara who said that he had received a bribe.

The court, after three days of intense arguments, dismissed Mr. Shetty’s bail plea. He had approached the court seeking anticipatory bail after the Crime Branch submitted an interim report adding the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in the Manjeswaram case.
