The Patna High Court today rejected the bail plea of suspended RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav, accused of raping a minor girl.
Justice Vinod Kumar Sinha dismissed the bail petition of Yadav.
It may be noted that the Supreme Court had in November 2016 cancelled Yadav's bail granted by the Patna High Court.
Yadav had allegedly raped the minor girl at his residence in English Pathra village of Nawada district on February 6, 2016.
After evading arrest for a considerable amount of time, he surrendered after a local court issued proclamation notice and an order to attach his properties for not surrendering before the police.
Bihar Police, in its charge sheet, had also named a woman and her relatives as accused on the ground that they had been allegedly "supplying women" to the MLA representing Nawada Assembly constituency.
RJD had suspended Yadav from the party on February 14 last year, a day after his arrest warrant was issued.
