Prashant Kishor granted unconditional bail by court

Within a few hours of being let off from the Beur jail, Prashant Kishor addressed the protesting Bihar Public Service Commission aspirants and declared, “No power is above the people.”
Patna: A Patna court on Monday granted ‘unconditional bail’ to Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor hours after he was jailed in Beur jail for declining to furnish his bail bond.

Prashant Kishor, immediately after being released from jail, addressed the protesting Bihar Public Service Commission aspirants and said, “There is no strength bigger than people’s strength.” He further explained the whole incident and said that the Police took him to Beur jail, but they had no documents to keep him there.

“Two hours ago, Bihar Police had taken me to Beur jail. The court accepted my demand and granted me unconditional bail. There is no strength bigger than people’s strength. This is the effect of the protest we did for the people. Prashant Kishor was detained, and first, I was given conditional bail as per the Police, but I rejected it and was ready to go to jail. Police took me to Beur jail, but they had no documents to keep me there, and by then, the Court’s final order came. Court took cognizance of our demand and granted unconditional bail,” Mr. Kishor said.

Prashant Kishor has extended his support to the protesting students, who are demanding the cancellation of the BPSC exam. He was observing a fast-unto-death over BPSC irregularities.

Mr. Kishor’s advocate, Kumar Amit, discussed the matter and said that Jan Suraaj, the chief, should have gotten bail from the police station. He suggested that Mr. Kishor be taken to several places based on ‘someone’s instruction.’

“The allegations that have been levied on him, it is available, as per the guidelines of Supreme Court and amendment in CrPC, he should have got bail from the Police station itself, but don’t know on whose instruction, he was taken to several places in Patna for 6-8 hours.

Then he was taken to Court, and in the first round, the Court maybe didn’t understand the whole issue and granted him conditional bail, but he didn’t accept that bail, so I went to Court, and after some time, the Court understood the matter and gave unconditional bail,” Kumar Amit said. Earlier in the day, he was sent to jail after refusing to sign conditions under his bail bond.
