High court grants bail to SP MLA Nahid Hasan

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday granted bail to Samajwadi Party MLA from Kairana Nahid Hasan, who was booked under the stringent Gangster’s Act.

Hasan has been lodged in jail since January.
Government advocate Rishi Chadha, who appeared on behalf of the state, said, “The bail application was filed for the proceedings under the Gangster’s Act. He had been in prison for eleven months or so. The arguments had been concluded, and the court decided to grant him bail. He was booked under the Gangster’s Act by the government after he was booked in around 15 cases. Keeping in mind his health and the lengthy detention period, he was granted bail by the court.”
