On the recommendation of Hazaribagh district administration the State Government has imposed CCA on the former Agriculture Minister of Jharkhand Yogendra Sao. Ex-legislature who is presently in JP Central Jail Hazaribagh will have to spend at least one year behind the bars after imposition of crime control act.
Hazaribagh district administration has sent a proposal to the State Government to impose CCA on Ex-Minister mentioning the fact that if he will be released from the jail then it will be difficult to handle the law and order situation in the Barkagaon block of Hazaribagh district and he is also an accused of funding and operating the banned outfit Jharkhand tiger group.
The State Government has forwarded this proposal to its advisory committee which had disapproved the same proposal sent about one and half years ago by the district administration. This time the committee approved the proposal to book the former Minister under section 12(2) of crime control act 2002.
DC Ravishankar Shukla said that the district administration has sent this proposal on the report of SP Hazaribagh. DC Shukla also informed that expulsion from the district order has also been issued against Sao under section 3.
