Bains released on bail; re-arrested
Ludhiana, October 24
Independent MLA Simarjeet Singh Bains was today re-arrested by the local police immediately after his release on bail from the jail premises.
He was booked under Section 107/151 of the CrPC on the complaint of Inspector Sumit Sood. Sood pleaded that Bains and his supporters were raising slogans against state government. When he tried to pacify them, Bains got angry and threatened to block traffic.
A police official said the supporters of Bains tried to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere by raising slogans. "Since Section 144 has been imposed and the supporters and MLA tried to breach the peace, the police had to arrest Bains again. He was sent to police division number 7," he said. However, a supporter of Bains alleged that it was pre-planned move by the police. — TNS
