Former Haryana CM Chautala to surrender today

October 11, 2014 10:17

Former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala, 79, is expected to surrender to Tihar Jail authorities today, after the Delhi high court cancelled his bail and ordered him to discontinue his political rallies.

He was convicted in January last year for running a graft-laden scheme to recruit teachers for government institutions when he was in office in 1999.

Chautala, who was granted bail on medical grounds in May last year, has been actively holding rallies to campaign for the assembly elections in Haryana.

Chautala, the chief of the Indian National Lok Dal, was sentenced to 10 years in jail.
