Patna: Suspended Janata Dal (United) MLC Manorama Devi who had gone into hiding after an arrest warrant was issued against her, surrendered on Tuesday morning in a Bihar court.
Local police had issued the warrant against her after a stash of liquor was found inside her home when they were carrying a raid to find her son who was accused of shooting dead a 19-year-old youth in Gaya.
"This information is false, no liquor bottles were found in my house," Devi said. She cried conspiracy and accused the BJP on falsely implicating her in the case.
