Yashwant Sinha in jail, BJP continues protest in Hazaribagh

“We will continue our agitation till our demand is met,” a BJP worker said.

Meanwhile, former External Affairs minister Yashwant Sinha and his followers did not apply for bail even today following their arrest and subsequent judicial remand for the alleged assault of the JSEB's Hazaribagh unit General Manager, Dhanesh Jha.

Jha had filed an FIR against Sinha and others, accusing them of tying him up during a demonstration by the BJP's district unit on Monday leading to their arrest.  

After Sinha and others refused to take bail, the Chief Judicial Magistrate R B Pal had remanded them to 14-days judicial custody yesterday.
