Lucknow, Nov 03: The two independent legislators Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya and Dhananjay Singh, who were arrested in the wee hours today, were remanded to judicial custody till November eight. The gangster act was also slapped on the two legislators.
Earlier the duo were produced before the court of Kumari Chandra Sheela in the evening amidst tight security and were taken to the jail after the order.
Coming out of the court, Raja Bhaiya told reporters that the cases filed against him and Dhananjay Singh were false and politically motivated. Chief minister Mayawati is targeting all those who had revolted against her government, he said.
He said they had apprehensions that action could be taken against them but we had never imagined that the charges would be so flimsy. "The Mayawati government was already in coma and it would fall much before November eight, he added.
Two of the dissident BJP legislators Kovid Kumar Singh and Ajit Singh were also present in the court room. Bureau Report
