Yavatmal: A lower court has rejected the
bail application filed by three persons, accused of
desecration of Dr Babsaheb Ambedkar's statue on January 26 at
Wani.
The accused, Rajesh Meshram, Nasir Khan Sirajuddin
Khan and Nilesh Parangattiwar, had moved the Additional
District Court for granting them bail. However, the court
turned down their application yesterday.
On the night of January 26, the accused had desecrated
the statue of Dr Ambedkar to meet their personal end of
shunting out the PSO of Wani who refused to dance as per their
tune.
Offence was registered against the trio under sections
295, 295 (A), 253 (A), 120 (B) and 34 of the IPC and were
later arrested.
