Bihar: JDU MLC Manorama Devi Arrested, Blames BJP

Bihar: Suspended JDU MLC Manorama Devi who is accused for breaking the laws was sent to 14 day judicial custody on Tuesday. Mrs. Devi claims that BJP had trapped her. The Bihar government has issued an arrest warrant against the minister for storing liquor bottles in her house despite of state wide liquor ban imposed by Nithish Kumar.

JDU MLC said, "I respect the court and the government but I did not have any liquor bottles. I have been trapped," Manorama Devi said after her surrender. "I am being falsely implicated due to political conspiracy, the BJP is doing that." Her lawyer also claimed that Manorama Devi had been ill until now. A court in Gaya would hear the anticipatory bail plea of Manorama Devi on May 19.

Devi's son Rakesh Ranjan Yadav alias Rocky and her husband Bindi Yadav are already in jail over the killing of Aditya Sachdeva, a businessman's son, in a case of road rage last week.
