BIJNOR: A special MP-MLA court here has rejected the bail plea of Samajwadi Party MLA from Nagina, Manoj Paras in connection with a 2020 attempt-to-murder case, officials said on Wednesday.
Additional District Government Counsel Jitendra Chauhan said that a villager, Chhatar Singh of Raseedpur Garhi, had lodged a complaint alleging that he was attacked with knives on Jhalu road on September 29, 2020.
Along with some other Samajwadi Party leaders, Paras, a former minister and sitting MLA, was named as an accused in the case.
Non-bailable warrants were subsequently issued against him.
On Tuesday, Paras appeared before the court of Judge Shantanu Tyagi, who rejected his bail application and sent him to jail, Chauhan said.
