A bunch of posters and hoardings reading "Bhaiya is back" had irked the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Thursday cancelled the bail granted to a student leader in Madhya Pradesh, whose banners were put up in the local area celebrating his release in a rape case. The court has asked Shubhang Gontia to surrender within a week.
A three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana took into account the accused's brazen conduct when he was out on bail. A bunch of posters and hoardings reading "Bhaiya is back" had irked the Supreme Court.
The woman from Madhya Pradesh had approached the top court challenging the bail, contending the accused had repeatedly raped her on a false promise of marriage and forced her to abort a child.
Gontia, is a leader of ABVP, the student wing of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The information about the posters was part of the woman's petition against the bail.
