Minor girl rape case: SC cancels bail granted to suspended RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav

The Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled the bail granted by Patna High Court to suspended RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav in rape case of a minor girl.

The Bihar Government had challenged the bail granted Yadav.

Earlier, following the Supreme Court's orders, Raj Ballabh, who is accused of raping a minor, had surrendered before the Bihar Sharif court.

In April, Yadav was named as one of the main accused in a charge-sheet filed by Nalanda Police, after he allegedly raped a minor girl at his residence on February 6th, following which he was immediately suspended by the party.

After absconding for almost one month, Yadav had surrendered in March before a chief magistrate's court in Bihar Sharif in Nalanda and was sent to jail.

However, he was granted bail by the Patna High Court on September 30, which the opposition used to criticize the state government for not placing facts against the RJD MLA before the Patna High Court.

Yadav, an MLA from Nawada assembly constituency, was suspended by the RJD after he was booked in the rape case on February 6.
