Hurdles For Raja Acharya’s Release As Police Decides To Move Court Challenging His Bail

“We are consulting legal experts in this regard and will file the petition after receiving required documents from the court,” he said.

Acharya was granted conditional bail by the High Court on Friday in connection with a case pertaining to abduction of an employee of Bhubaneswar-based Jyote Motors and extortion of money from him. The single bench of Justice JP Das allowed him bail against two sureties of Rs 50,000 each.

Acharya had moved the High Court after his bail plea with regard to this case was rejected by the Bhubaneswar Additional District Judge Court in March last year.

Having been granted bail in two other cases against him, the Friday verdict would have allowed him to walk out of the jail.
