Gaya: A day after her petition for anticipatory bail was rejected, suspended JD (U) MLC Manorama Devi surrendered before the Gaya court on Tuesday. Devi, who is accused of violating prohibition law, was sent to 14 days of judicial custody by the court immediately after she surrendered.
The suspended MLC had gone into hiding after an warrant of arrest was issued against her for illegally possessing liquor bottles at her residence. The police had also filed a case of child labour against her after an under-age boy was found working as a domestic help at her house during raids.
“I have full faith in the judiciary”, suspended JD(U) MLC and Rocky Yadav’s mother said after she surrendered before the court Tuesday morning.

She also denied allegations that liquor bottles were recovered from her house during raids. While terming charges against her as “politically motivated” ploy, she said, “Truth will come out soon, all charges against me are false”.
A court in Gaya would hear the anticipatory bail plea of Manorama Devi on May 19. Devi filed an anticipatory bail in the court on May 13 after an arrest warrant was issued against her. The Gaya Police had last week sealed the house of the suspended JD (U) MLC.
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.
Earlier on Monday, her nephew and Rocky Yadav’s cousin Teni Yadav had surrendered before the court. Teni Yadav according to police was with Rocky Yadav when Aditya was murdered on May 7.
