Rabri seeks bail in a model code violation case

Chapra (Bihar), November 06: Former Bihar Chief Minister and leader of opposition in the state assembly Rabri Devi today moved the court of chief judicial magistrate, seeking bail in connection with a case related to violation of election model code.

Rabri Devi’s counsel Bhola Yadav filed the petition in the court of CJM Y N Sinha this afternoon. The hearing on the petition is likely to take place tomorrow.

The Block Development Officer of Maker in Saran district Anil Kumar had lodged an FIR with the police charging the former chief minister with violating model code of conduct by “making uncharitable remarks against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar” at an election rally in support of her husband and RJD President Lalu Prasad during the Lok Sabha polls in Saran constituency in April last.
