Babulal’s aide moves HC for bail

Ranchi: Former chief minister Babulal Marandi’s consultant Sunil Tiwary moved the Jharkhand high court seeking regular bail in an alleged sexual exploitation case.
The case was registered in the Argora police station on August 16 by a girl belonging to a Scheduled Tribe community. The minor in the FIR accused Tiwary of sexual exploitation and the case was registered for violation of offences under the Indian Penal Code and the SC/ST Act.
Tiwary had earlier applied for anticipatory bail before the Ranchi district court which was rejected. He had then moved the Jharkhand high court but was subsequently arrested on September 12.
Tiwary’s wife Lalima Tiwary had also filed a criminal writ in the high court seeking a CBI probe into the matter.
