Mancherial: A district court on Monday granted bail to Balka Suman and three other leaders of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in connection with an alleged attack on the convoy of Labour Minister Dr G Vivek and the injury of a constable.
District Sessions Court Judge A Veeraiah granted bail after hearing a petition filed by Suman’s counsel. The court directed Suman to furnish a deposit of ₹25,000.
The other accused — Mula Raji Reddy, D. Anil and Ramidi Laxmikanth — were ordered to report at Ramakrishnapur police station every Sunday.
On February 18, Suman and the three others were arrested and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. They were lodged in a jail at Adilabad. A case was registered against Suman and eight others for their alleged role in the attack during a special meeting of Kyathanpalli municipality on February 17.
Following the court’s order, BRS cadres celebrated, claiming that justice had prevailed despite alleged attempts by the Congress government to block bail. They alleged political conspiracy against Suman and other party leaders.
