Patna: Suspended JD (U) MLC Manorama Devi finally surrendered before the Gaya court on Tuesday after her petition for anticipatory bail was rejected on Monday. She was sent to 14 days of judicial custody by the court on Tuesday immediately after she surrendered.
Manorama Devi had gone into hiding after warrant of arrest was issued against 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” she said, “truth will come out soon, all charges against me are false”.
Manorama Devi is the mother of Rocky Yadav who had allegedly murdered Aditya Sachdeva in Gaya on May 7. The police may seek her remand from the court to probe her involvement in trying to suppress facts related to Aditya’s murder. The police also believe that she and her husband Bindi Yadav tried to help their son Rocky evade arrest.
Rocky Yadav was arrested on May 10 from one of the factories of his father Bindi Yadav who is also in Jail. She surrendered a day after CM Nitish Kumar promised stern action against those involved in the Aditya case.
Chief Minister had said, “Those who are involved in the case will not be spared I don’t care who the person is.” The JD (U) had suspended MLC Manorama Devi from the party immediately after her son was arrested and liquor bottles were recovered from her house on May 10.
