In a relief to sitting Congress Bhoolath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira, a Kapurthala court granted him bail on Monday afternoon.
His son Mehtab Singh Khaira, a lawyer by profession, put out a post on Sukhpal Singh Khaira’s official social media account “With the grace of Almighty Waheguru my father Sardar @SukhpalKhaira has been granted bail by the Kapurthala Court in the second utterly false and vindictive case slapped against him on the personal directions of CM @BhagwantMann . We are extremely thankful to all those who supported the cause of truth and stood by my father during these last four months of brutal attack on his freedom and liberty. Truth can be suppressed but it cannot be defeated. We are all eagerly looking forward to his release from Nabha Jail”.
Mehtab tagged Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, senior party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, leader of the opposition in Punjab Vidhan Sabha Partap Singh Bajwa and Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, among others.
Punjab Congress MLA likely to be a free bird by today evening; court granted bail. A case under Sections 195A (threatening any person to give false evidence) and 506 (criminal intimidation) was registered against him last Thursday at the Subhanpur police station on the complaint of Ranjit Kaur, the wife of Kashmir Singh, a resident of Dograwal and a witness in the drugs case.
The Kapurthala court today granted bail to Khaira, who was in judicial custody at Nabha jail.
Earlier, Punjab and Haryana high court had granted bail to the MLA in a 2015 drugs case last week but he was arrested by the Kapurthala police in another case for threatening and intimidating a witness.
