Lucknow bench of Allahabad HC stays bail granted to Gayatri Prajapati

The Lcuknow bench of Allahabad HC has cancelled bail granted to former UP minister Gayatri Prajapati by a special court in a rape case. 

Prajapati and two of his alleged accomplices were on Tuesday granted bail by special judge of POCSO court Om Prakash Mishra here in connection with the rape case that had rocked the state some months ago during the Samajwadi Party rule. However, his reprieve proved to be shortlived as a local court on Wednesday remanded him in judicial custody in two separate cases even before he could walk out of jail.
Prajapati was sent back to Gosainganj prison here after getting bail in the rape case the previous day.

The city police dug out old cases and convinced the court of chief judicial magistrate to send Prajapati back to judicial custody. They produced case diaries of two FIRs registered at Gautampalli and Gomtinagar police stations here against Prajapati in order to convince the court that letting him out on bail can jeopardise the ongoing investigations in the two criminal cases. A woman from Chitrakoot had approached Gautampalli police station on February 17 alleging that she was gang-raped by Prajapati and two more men forcibly for several months before she alerted the police.
She also alleged that the three had also sexually assaulted her minor daughter at Prajapati's residence.
