Cops quiz BJP MLA Dhullu Mahto

Police on Saturday took Baghmara’s BJP MLA Dhullu Mahto on remand and questioned him over a land dispute case lodged by Rajeev Kumar Srivastava, ne­p­hew of former mines minister O.P. Lal.

A police team, led by Baghmara SDO Nitin Khandelwal, reached Dhanbad divisional jail around 10.30am, where Dhullu has been staying, and took the MLA to Sadar police station where a team of senior police officers questioned him.

The court of district and ses­sions judge R.K. Singh on Saturday turned do­wn the revision plea filed against Fri­day’s order of first class judicial magistrate Sangeeta that allowed the police to take Dhullu on remand.
