BJP MLA, four others sent to judicial custody

Bhawani Singh Rajawat, MLA from Ladpura constituency and former parliamentary secretary in Vasundhera Raje government, was remanded by an Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate.

Four other accused-- Shaktibhan Singh, Smt Hemkanwar Hada, Satish Bharadwaj and Hemraj Singh Hada -- surrendered in court today, but their bail applications were rejected and they too were sent to judicial custody.

A case was lodged against Rajawat and the local party workers on January 12, 2011, after they blocked NH-12 with the body of a man apparently killed in a road accident to protest his death.
