Chandigarh: AAP MLA from Jalandhar Central, Raman Arora, was released from Nabha jail on Thursday morning after securing bail from the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a corruption case. However, he was immediately arrested in connection with a fresh case registered against him at Rama Mandi police station.
Police officials said Arora will be produced before a local court by noon. The case was registered on August 30 following a complaint of extortion filed by a private organisation.
Arora was earlier arrested on May 23 in a corruption case along with municipal corporation officials, including assistant town planner Sukhdev Singh and inspector Harpreet Kaur. The Vigilance Bureau had also arrested his son, who was later granted anticipatory bail by the court.
