A Bihar court on Monday rejected the bail plea of jailed RJD legislator Raj Ballabh Yadav, accused of raping a schoolgirl, the police said.
A court in Biharsharief, the district headquarters of Nalanda, rejected the bail plea of Yadav on the ground that he would influence the probe if he got bail, a district police official said.
The police in Nalanda filed a 205—page chargesheet last month against Yadav and other accused in the rape of the minor girl in February in Biharsharief.
The police said they have appealed to the court for speedy trial. The main accused, Yadav surrendered in the court on March 10.
Yadav was absconding for many days after the victim filed a police complaint accusing him of raping her.
Earlier, the legislator’s two houses, one each in Nawada and Patna, were attached in compliance with a court order. - IANS
