Ranchi, June 3 (IBNS): Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Yashwant Sinha and 50 party workers have been arrested and sent to a 14-day judicial custody on Tuesday for leading a demonstration against power cuts in Hazaribagh in Jharkhand.
Sinha and 50 party workers and leaders were arrested on Monday for allegedly assaulting a senior official of the Jharkhand State Electricity Board (JSEB).
 
Protesting over long hours of power cut, BJP workers tied up the official and assaulted him.
 
In court, Sinha admitted that it was on his orders that the official was tied up by women workers.
 
Sinha had the option of furnishing a bail bond before the local court, but he refused to do so, reports said.
 
Claiming not to interfere in the judicial system, PM Narendra Modi tweeted: "It shows no interfere of Modi Govt in Judiciary, Law & Order, Yashwant Sinha is in jail and driver who hit #GopinathMunde car is on bail.."
 
Jharkhand is currently ruled by a Congress-JMM government.
