Former Khanpur MLA and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pranav Singh ‘Champion’ was granted bail by the district court here on Tuesday. Singh and his supporters had fired rounds at Khanpur MLA Umesh Kumar’s official residence in Roorkee on January 26. Based on Kumar’s PRO’s complaint, the police lodged a case against Singh and his supporters.
The police presented Singh and others in court on January 27 from where he was sent to 14 days in judicial custody. He was in jail since then, though he was admitted to the Haridwar district hospital in the recent past due to some health issues.
It will be recalled that the former MLA’s wife Devyani Singh had also lodged a complaint against Kumar accusing him of issuing death threats. The police had lodged a case and presented Kumar in the court which had granted him bail earlier.
