Misa Bharti gets bail in election model code violation case

PATNA: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's eldest daughter Misa Bharti, who is the party's candidate for the Patliputra parliamentary seat, today received bail in a model code violation case.

In-charge Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Danapur, Vijay Krishna Singh granted bail to Misa Bharti.

She was booked on March 10 for holding a road show without prior permission of the Danapur Sub Divisional Officer.
