Alleging amendments in jail manual, Amar Jyoti, the Bihar in-charge of Bhim Army's Bharat Ekta Mission, on Wednesday moved Patna High Court against the state government's order releasing former MP and life convict Anand Mohan and 26 others.
Amar Jyoti, through his Public Interest Litigation (PIL), alleged that the Nitish Kumar government tweaked the state's jail manual to "favour criminals".
