Resort brawl: HC grants bail to Kampli MLA Ganesh

Bengaluru: Kampli Assembly Constituency MLA JN Ganesh was granted bail by the High Court Karnataka on Wednesday, in relation to an alleged assault on another Congress MLA Anand Singh, at a resort in the outskirts of the city.

Justice BA Patil who was hearing the case granted bail imposing conditions that Ganesh should execute a bond of Rs 2 lakh and provide two sureties and he should not destroy evidence.

It may be recalled that Ganesh moved the High Court for bail as the Special Court had rejected his bail application on March 25 on the grounds that prima facie he was involved in commissioning of the offence. Ganesh claimed that the attack on Anand Singh was in self-defence whereas the prosecution termed the same as a self-created story.

After the attack, Ganesh absconded from the resort. Later he was arrested in Gujarat.
