Those arrested in connection with the violence exhibited against women who tried entering Sabarimala temple in Kerala will have to bear a burden of paying anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 13 lakh in order to get bail. One of the main charges of the state police is the protesters damaging public property such as police vehicles and state transport buses that belong to the Kerala government.
The ones who pushed the vehicle of Special Officer for Sannidhanam, S P Ajith, at Nilakkal will have to pay Rs 13 lakh for bail. Nine people have cases against them in relation to the incident, Manorama reported.
More than 1,500 people have been granted bail, but those who have engaged in the destruction of public property will have to face tough decisions of the court and pay up lakhs of rupees to get out on bail.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
