INDORE: Former Madhya Prades chief minister Digvijaya Singh and former Ujjain MP Premchand Guddu got regular bail on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each in a 10-year-old case of abetment to violence and voluntarily causing hurt.
Singh and Guddu were present before a session court in the district on Thursday to complete bail formalities.
The duo had been convicted under section 109 of IPC for abetment to violence along with four others---Jai Singh Darbar, Anant Narayan Meena, Aslam Lala, and Dileep Chaudhary and under section 326 for voluntarily causing hurt on March 26 this year. The court had then granted bail to the leaders for appeal period, which ended recently.
The case is related to an incident of July 2011, when BJP Yuva Morcha members showed black flags during a demonstration, stopping convoy of Digvijay Singh in Ujjain.
BJYM members had alleged that they were beaten up by Congress members causing injuries to them. A FIR was registered at Jeevaji police station in Ujjain against the accused.
Names of Digvijaya Singh and five others including Premchand Guddu were later added in case registered under section 307, 29323,324 for attempt to murder and beating. Later, charges under section 307 were revised to 326 of IPC on direction of MP high court.
