Prasanta Jagadev Gets Bail

Cuttack (Reporters Today Bureau): The Orissa High Court today granted bail to Chilika MLA Prasanta Jagadev in the case of attack on a BJP leader.

The Khurda ADJ-1 Court had on October 8 sent him to judicial custody while rejecting his bail application. Later in the evening, he was shifted to the Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar for treatment of heart-related ailments, with permission from the court.

Earlier, the Orissa High Court had on October 5 rejected his anticipatory bail plea and directed him to move the lower court.
