Shankar Rao granted anticipatory bail

A local court has given anticipatory bail to former minister Dr P Shankar Rao.

The Nampally court today granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Dr P Shankar Rao in the Greenfields land dispute case. His arrest by police had created a commotion earlier in this case. He alleged that police had man handled him and complained to higher authorities as well as the Speaker and an inquiry was ordered into the incident of his arrest.

While police contended that Shankar Rao did not cooperate with the police in the investigation process, he said police had behaved rudely with him. He was immediately admitted to hospital and his family members moved the Sate Human Rights Commission as well.
