Yashwant Sinha freed from jail

Hazaribagh, June 19 (IBNS) Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha was released from a jail in Jharkhand on Thursday.

Sinha walked out free on bail from the jail after he agreed to pay for the bail bond finally on Wednesday, since his arrest over violent power crisis protest.

Sinha was arrested for provoking his party workers to tie up a power board official at the height of a power crisis in Hazaribagh.

Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) patriarch LK Advani visited Sinha in the Hazaribagh jail on Tuesday.

A local court on Monday had extended Sinha's judicial custody by 12 more days after he refused to submit a bail bond.

On June 3, Sinha and 50 party workers were sent to a 14-day judicial custody for leading a demonstration against power cuts in Hazaribagh in Jharkhand.

Sinha and 50 party workers and leaders were arrested on June 2 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 allegedly assaulted him.

In court, Sinha admitted that it was on his orders that the official was tied up by women workers.

Jharkhand is currently ruled by a Congress-JMM government.
