Raja Shree Mohanty, husband of dowry torture victim Barsa Swony Choudhury and son of former Minister Raghunath Mohanty was granted bail by the District and Sessions Court with conditions on Friday.
Meanwhile, Raghunath Mohanty, who was arrested in the dowry torture case of his daughter-in-law and released on bail three days back, attended the State Assembly on Friday after a gap of 20 days and took part in House business.
The court allowed Raja Shree’s bail petition with Rs 10,000 security and two sureties along with conditions. “He can’t go outside the State without permission of the court and won’t tamper with evidences. Besides, he shall cooperate with investigation,” informed his lawyrer Gour Chandra Barik.
Within three hours after the order, Raja Shree was released from jail, where he had stayed for 18 days. A large number of supporters of Rajashree welcomed him outside the jail.
Barsa in her reaction said. “They (the Mohanty family) together can cause more harm to my life as well as my parents since all of them are out (of jail) now. Two other accused persons are yet to be arrested.
However I respect the law.” She demanded immediate arrest of Raghunath Mohanty’s daughter Rupashree and her husband Suvendu Madhual.
