Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar — who was arrested amid midnight drama on Wednesday — has been granted bail.
Taken into police custody on Tuesday night, the MP from Karimnagar was later arrested over the leak of secondary school exam papers — a charge that his party has dismissed as politically motivated.
His arrest has set off a huge political row and drew criticism from the party’s Central leadership in New Delhi.
On Wednesday, he was sent to jail for two weeks.
Mr Kumar, the state BJP claimed, was taken into custody from his home around 11 pm without any explanation. Thereafter, he was apparently moved to various police stations across different districts, raising questions about his whereabouts and safety.
