MRPS chief granted bail

Almost three weeks after his arrest, Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) chief Manda Krishna Madiga was granted conditional bail by Secunderabad Court on Tuesday.

Krishna Madiga was arrested on January 2 after he tried to go on hunger strike demanding categorisation of Scheduled Castes. His arrest was widely condemned by all opposition parties who demanded his immediate release. (INN)
