Patna: Feb. 21, 2007
Much to the surprise of many people in Bihar, the Patna High Court, on Wednesday granted regular bail to Brahmeshwar Mukhiya, the commander-in-chief of Ranvir Sena, the private army of upper-caste landlords, who had been languishing in Patna's Beur Jail since his arrest in August of 2002.The man who has allegedly confessed of masterminding several massacres in Bihar, including his involvement in the Lakhshmanpur-Bathe killing in 1997, was granted a regular bail by a division bench comprising Justice S. K. Singh and Justice S. Mukherjee after hearing arguments from both his lawyer and the state public prosecutor.The leader of the Ranvir Sena, however, would remain in Beur Jail in judicial custody for his involvement in many other cases, officials said.
