Congress candidate from Karnal Lok Sabha seat, Divyanshu Budhiraja, was granted bail on May 6th in a case registered against him in March 2023 for blocking a road. The bail was granted by a city court on a bond of ₹50,000.
The FIR was registered against 11 accused, including Mr. Budhiraja, at Kherki Daula police station after Youth Congress workers blocked the Delhi-Jaipur highway while protesting against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha.
Advocate Anil Sura, counsel for Mr. Budhiraja, stated that the police presented a challan in the court in this case on November 30th last year. Mr. Budhiraja appeared in court on May 6th and obtained bail on the bond of Rs 50,000.
He told reporters that the Haryana government had registered five cases against him, but he is “not going to bow down”.
“Now the people of Karnal will respond to this dictatorship,” he said.
Following a complaint by ASI Yogender Kumar, the FIR was registered against the accused under sections 147 (riots), 283 (obstruction in public way), 341 (wrongful confinement) of the IPC at Kherki Daula police station, said the police.
