BJP lawmaker Akash Vijayvargiya, who was arrested three days ago for assaulting a civic official in Indore with a cricket bat, was granted bail on Saturday by a special court here.

Additional sessions judge Suresh Singh also granted bail to Akash, son of BJP general secretary and Bengal unit minder Kailash Vijayvargiya, in another case related to staging an illegal protest.

District prosecution officer Rajendra Upadhaya said Akash had been asked to furnish a personal bail bond of Rs 50,000 in the assault case and of Rs 20,000 in the other case.
