Ex-MLA marries, to surrender by Oct 7

Ajsu party leader Kamal Kishore Bhagat, who lost his Assembly membership after being convicted in an attempt to murder case on June 23 this year, today got married and will surrender to a court by October seven.
Bhagat married Niru Shanti Bhagat. Jharkhand Water Resources minister and party leader Chandraprakash Choudhary and party president Sudesh Mahto attended the marriage ceremony solemnised in Lohardaga, from where Bhagat had won the Assembly elections in 2009 and 2014 as a Ajsu candidate.
Obtaining bail from the High Court, Bhagat had appealed against the seven-year-sentence awarded to him by a lower court in connection with an attack on a Ranchi-based doctor in 1993.

The High Court last month reduced the sentence to five years and asked Bhagat to surrender within fifteen days.
His conviction has led to his disqualification from the Assembly membership this term, leaving the seat vacant.
