Seventeen persons, including Yavatmal BJP MLA Madan Yerawar, were booked by police following a JMFC court direction in connection with a land deal.
“The offences were registered under sections 420, 426, 465, 468 and 471 read with 34 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code on Thursday night after we studied the JMFC court order issued on Wednesday. But on Friday, the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court stayed the lower court’s order,” Yavatmal Superintendent of Police Rajkumar told The Indian Express.
