WARANGAL: Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar was given bail by magistrate court in Warangal in SSC paper leak case on Thursday.
Bandi Sanjay was arrested by police in the early hours of Wednesday after he was named the prime accused by the Warangal police in a case of malpractice after a question paper of Standard 10 (SSC) board exam surfaced on groups of an instant messaging app.
Sanjay Kumar, in an open letter to party leaders and cadre earlier, said his arrest was part of a larger conspiracy by the ruling BRS government in Telangana.
Such conspiracies would not demoralise the party and the cadre, he said in the open letter, released through his brother Bandi Sravan Kumar who called on him in the Karimnagar jail.
"Arresting me and harassing the BJP workers was like hitting the ball to the ground. We shall only bounce back with the same force," Sanjay Kumar had said in the letter.
The state BJP president claimed that the BRS government had foisted false cases against him only because he had "taken up cudgels" on behalf of 30 lakh unemployed youth who had suffered due to alleged leak of question papers of recruitment tests conducted by the Telangana State Public Service Commission.
