Bihar: Gaya court to now hear the anticipatory bail plea of suspended JDU MLC Manorama Devi on May 19th. The MLC is still absconding.

As per reports, the Gaya Court also asked for case diary and record of the lower court in this regard.

"The hearing took place today. The judge has asked for the case diary. Her name is not there in the FIR. We have not got any next date. We said that she has been falsely trapped," Devi's lawyer Kaisar Sarfuddin was quoted as saying by ANI.

Devi had filed an anticipatory bail in the court on May 13 after an arrest warrant was issued against her over liquor prohibition.

The Gaya Police had last week sealed the house of the suspended JD (U) legislator, who is said to be on the run after an arrest warrant was issued against her under the new state excise law.

Devi's son Rakesh Ranjan Yadav, alias Rocky, and her husband Bindi Yadav are already in jail over the killing of Aditya Sachdeva, a businessman's son, in a case of road rage last week.
