Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of Allahabad
High Court on Tuesday directed the police to arrest Bahujan Samaj
Party MLA from Bilsi Assembly in connection with a rape case.
A division bench comprising Justice Abdul Mateen and
Justice Ashwani Kumar Singh passed this order on a writ
petition filed by Premchandra Sharma, seeking legal action
against MLA Yogendra Sagar.
The court directed Judicial Magistrate of Badaun
to issue a fresh non-bailable warrant against the
MLA within seven days and SSP Badaun to ensure his arrest

police was not arresting the MLA due to the pressure.
