Bhubaneswar: The Orissa High Court today rejected the bail plea of Chilika MLA Prasanta Kumar Jagadev in the road rage incident in front of the Banpur block office in Khordha district on March 12 this year.
Jagadev had rammed his SUV into a large crowd comprising mostly of BJP workers outside the Banpur block office.
The incident had left 22 persons, including seven police personnel, injured. The irate crowd had dragged and assaulted Jagadev and vandalised his car.
The Chilika MLA had moved the High Court for bail after his plea was rejected by the lower court.
The High Court had granted Jagadev interim bail on health grounds last month while his main bail plea was pending.
His main bail plea was rejected by the High Court today. Therefore, Jagadev may be again sent to jail as his bail plea has been rejected.
