BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh high court has issued notices to the state government and DG (prisons), seeking their explanation on a PIL filed by Vyapam whistleblower Ashish Chaturvedi, alleging that he was kept under detention for 18 hours despite getting bail.
“I was fighting for a cause and the arrest has led to a blot on my image. I won’t get a government job. Let the government declare if I am a revolutionary or a criminal,” Chaturvedi says in the PIL.
Chaturvedi was sent to jail on August 9, 2018, by a special court in Gwalior after he failed to heed repeated summons to record his statement in connection with a complaint he had filed on one of the alleged kingpins of the Vyapam case, Rahul Yadav. Cops executed a non-bailable warrant to produce him in court.
