:dateline:Additional Session Judge SP Sood on Monday granted bail to Bikram Dhanaula, and two of his accomplices, namely Mahinderpal Singh Dangarh and Harvinder Singh (Kothe Gobindpur).� All three were arrested for hurling a shoe at Chief Minister Parkash Badal at a function on August 15.
The court observed that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the three as the trial would take a long time. Bikram was detained under Sections 107 and 151, and sent to the Central jail, Ludhiana. A day later, he was booked under Sections 332, 353, 355 and 186 of the IPC.
He was sent to police remand for a day, and thereafter to judicial custody. Earlier, his bail plea was declined by the court of the Khanna Judicial Magistrate.
