Kochi, Dec 23 (Inditop.com) People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Abdul Nazir Maudany’s wife Sufiya Wednesday got bail in a bus burning case of 2005 in Kerala.
Ernakulam Sessions Judge D. Pappachen granted the bail on condition that Sufiya surrenders her passport in a week’s time and would not go out of the district.
Sufiya was arrested Friday after the Kerala High Court refused her anticipatory bail plea.
Sufiya’s counsel, G. Raman Pillai told reporters that she also has to furnish two sureties and a Rs.1 lakh bond. “Now she is free,” Pillai said.
Sufiya is 10th accused in the bus burning case. The first accused in the case is south India chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) T. Nazeer, who is now in custody of Bangalore police.
K. Surendran, of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Yuva Morcha, said that the entire arrest was a drama enacted by the state government.
“We wish to know that if this leniency by the state government would be shown to the other accused in the case also,” Surendran said.
