Road rage killing: JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi surrenders

May 17, 2016

Gaya, May 17: Absconding JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi, whose son Rocky Yadav was arrested in connection with killing of a Gaya youth in an incident of road rage, surrendered in a court today and was remanded into 14 days of judicial custody.

manoramaAs the morning court started for the day, Manorama Devi surrendered in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-IV Som Sagar.

The court remanded her to 14 days of judicial custody.

The surrender of the ruling party legislator came a week after she went into hiding after issuance of arrest warrant against her in the case of recovery of liquor bottles from her house, during the search for her son Rocky.

The same court is expected to pronounce verdict today on police prayer filed yesterday for attachment of her property.

The MLC appeared in court even as police was on the lookout for her after an arrest warrant was issued.

Asked if police were present in the court premises to arrest her before she could surrender, Senior Superintendent of Police, Gaya, Garima Mallik said the suspended legislator surrendered due to intense police pressure.

With the surrender of the MLC, the entire family of Manorama Devi, including her husband and son, are now in jail in the case of murder of class XII student Sachdeva, who was shot dead allegedly by Rocky Yadav after their car overtook his SUV.

The MLC's lawyer Mohammad Sarfuddin later said that he had told the court that she is not well and proper medical facility should be provided to her in custody. The court accepted this and instructed officials to provide her medical facility.

While being taken to jail from the court, the MLC alleged that the BJP got her trapped in the case for political reasons.

"Do I drink alcohol that I will keep liquor bottles in my house?" she asked media persons.

To a question, the suspended JD(U) MLC said she was with the Grand Secular Alliance ministry.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had yesterday said that nobody could escape from the clutches of law in the Gaya case as well as in the killing of a journalist Rajdeo Ranjan in Siwan.

Manorama Devi was suspended from JD(U) last week after six bottles of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) were found from her house in posh Anugrah Puri colony in Gaya on May 9 during search for her fugitive son Rakesh Ranjan Yadav alias Rocky Yadav in the case of killing of Aditya Sachdeva.

Her trouble started after suspension from the party. Police included her name in the FIR in connection with recovery of liquor bottles with her husband Bindi Yadav, an RJD man and known history-sheeter of the area, and Rocky.

The police acquired arrest warrant against the MLC but she went into hiding.

The police had got proclamation notice against her. Yesterday the police prayed for order to attach her property.

Manorama Devi gave herself to the law only after exhausting the option to acquire an anticipatory bail. Her anticipatory bail application was rejected by District and Sessions judge Sajal Mandilwar.

New Delhi, Jun 25: The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre and the CBSE to issue fresh notification in connection with Class 12 exams, clarifying the option between internal assessment and exams later.

The observation from the top court after it was informed that the CBSE has decided to cancel the remaining board exams for Class 10 and Class 12.

A bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna asked the Centre to clarify the issue of taking the option between internal assessment and exams later.

"Clarify the date of results," said the bench, noting that the CBSE will have to submit a fresh draft notification cancelling class 12 Board exams and affidavit on Friday morning, before the top court continues to hear the matter again at 10.30 a.m.

The apex court also sought clarity on the beginning of the new academic year.

It told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, that the CBSE is willing to conduct exams when the situation is conducive, but this may vary from state to state. "Will the decision be taken by a central authority or will the state government take the decision? How are you going to deal with that situation?"

Mehta replied that the decision must be taken according to the situation. To this, the bench said should not the solution be pan-India?

"You have not said when you will decide on this issue, and when you will take stock of these things. Some time frame will have to be given," noted the bench.

Continuing its queries, the bench said: "What about state regional board exams... the CBSE does not hold all the exams. The state Board is also there."

Mehta replied that the instructions from the controller of examinations are that exams are controlled centrally. "State boards assist the CBSE," he replied.

The bench observed that the government should modify the draft notification and include the state board issue. "Clear the stand that decision will be taken at the central level and not at the state level... other courses will have to be delayed till CBSE exam results come out," it said.

Mehta replied the assessment results will be published now, and if a student wants to opt to give the exam, then that will be conducted later. The top court asked Mehta to bring this on record and redraft the notification.
